Installing a SATA storage drive The blade workstation supports one small-form-factor SATA storage drive, such as a hard disk drive. The blade workstation comes with an installed SATA drive. If you have to replace or upgrade the SATA storage drive, see the instructions in "Removing a SATA storage drive," and then complete the steps in this section. See http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for a list of supported SATA storage drives for the blade workstation. The following illustration shows how to install a SATA storage drive. Storage drive Storage drive release lever To install a SATA storage drive, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 15. 2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade workstation, and remove the blade workstation from the BladeCenter unit. See "Removing the blade workstation from the BladeCenter unit" on page 16 for instructions. 3. Carefully lay the blade workstation on a flat, static-protective surface. 4. Open the blade workstation cover (see "Opening the blade workstation cover" on page 17 for instructions). 5. Locate the SATA connector. Attention: Do not press on the top of the drive.
