The following illustration shows how to install a SCSI hot-swap hard disk drive. Note: The illustrations used in this procedure depict the installation process on a BladeCenter HS40 blade server in a BladeCenter Type 8677 unit. These illustrations might differ slightly from your hardware. However, this installation process is the same regardless of the BladeCenter unit. Filler panel Blade Drive handle (in open position) Storage expansion unit Hard disk drive Complete the following steps to install a drive in a storage expansion unit. Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the BladeCenter unit for more than 1 minute without either a hot-swap hard disk drive or a filler panel installed in each storage expansion unit bay. 1. Review the safety information beginning on page Appendix B, "Safety information," on page 109 and "Installation guidelines" on page 33. 2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your finger into the depression at the top of the filler panel and pulling it away from the expansion unit. 3. Install the SCSI hot-swap hard disk drive: a. Make sure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the hard disk drive). b. Align the hard disk drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay. c. Gently push the hard disk drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops. d. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position. e. Check the hard disk drive LEDs to make sure that the hard disk drive is operating correctly. v If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a hard disk drive is lit continuously, the hard disk drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. v If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the hard disk drive is being accessed. See the documentation that comes with the expansion unit for information about configuring the expansion unit and SCSI hard disk drives. 58 BladeCenter HS40 Type 8839: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

The
following
illustration
shows
how
to
install
a
SCSI
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive.
Note:
The
illustrations
used
in
this
procedure
depict
the
installation
process
on
a
BladeCenter
HS40
blade
server
in
a
BladeCenter
Type
8677
unit.
These
illustrations
might
differ
slightly
from
your
hardware.
However,
this
installation
process
is
the
same
regardless
of
the
BladeCenter
unit.

Blade
Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
a
drive
in
a
storage
expansion
unit.
Attention:
To
maintain
proper
system
cooling,
do
not
operate
the
BladeCenter
unit
for
more
than
1
minute
without
either
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
or
a
filler
panel
installed
in
each
storage
expansion
unit
bay.
1.
Review
the
safety
information
beginning
on
page
Appendix
B,
“Safety
information,”
on
page
109
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
33.
2.
Remove
the
filler
panel
from
one
of
the
empty
hot-swap
bays
by
inserting
your
finger
into
the
depression
at
the
top
of
the
filler
panel
and
pulling
it
away
from
the
expansion
unit.
3.
Install
the
SCSI
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive:
a.
Make
sure
that
the
tray
handle
is
open
(that
is,
perpendicular
to
the
hard
disk
drive).
b.
Align
the
hard
disk
drive
assembly
with
the
guide
rails
in
the
bay.
c.
Gently
push
the
hard
disk
drive
assembly
into
the
bay
until
the
drive
stops.
d.
Push
the
tray
handle
to
the
closed
(locked)
position.
e.
Check
the
hard
disk
drive
LEDs
to
make
sure
that
the
hard
disk
drive
is
operating
correctly.
v
If
the
amber
hard
disk
drive
status
LED
for
a
hard
disk
drive
is
lit
continuously,
the
hard
disk
drive
is
faulty
and
needs
to
be
replaced.
v
If
the
green
hard
disk
drive
activity
LED
is
flashing,
the
hard
disk
drive
is
being
accessed.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
expansion
unit
for
information
about
configuring
the
expansion
unit
and
SCSI
hard
disk
drives.
