7. Slide the server cover back until the locking tabs release. 8. Lift the server cover off the server and set the cover aside. Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the server cover before you turn on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the cover removed might damage server components. Installing a hard disk drive The following notes describe the type of hard disk drives that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install a hard disk drive. For a list of supported hard disk drives, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/ serverproven/compat/us/ . Attention: To avoid damage to the hard disk drive connectors, make sure that the cover is in place and fully closed whenever you install or remove a hard disk drive. Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter. The server supports one of the following hard disk drive configurations: v Do not use both SAS and SATA drives in the same array. v The 2.5-inch server models support four hot-swap SAS hard disk drives. You can install only 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS drives in these servers. v The 3.5-inch server models support two hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA hard disk drives. You can install only 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA drives in these servers. v The simple-swap server models support two 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA hard disk drives. You can install only 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA drives in these servers. v All hot-swap drives in the server should have the same throughput speed rating. Using hard disk drives with different speed rating will cause all drives to operate at the throughput speed of the slowest drive. Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive To install a 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hard disk drive, complete the following steps. Note: If you have only one hard disk drive, you must install it in the left or upper-left bay. The following illustration shows the 2.5-inch hard disk drive server model. Chapter 2.

Installing
a
hard
disk
drive
The
following
notes
describe
the
type
of
hard
disk
drives
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
you
install
a
hard
disk
drive.
For
a
list
of
supported
hard
disk
drives,
see
serverproven/compat/us/
.
Attention:
To
avoid
damage
to
the
hard
disk
drive
connectors,
make
sure
that
the
cover
is
in
place
and
fully
closed
whenever
you
install
or
remove
a
hard
disk
drive.
Locate
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
hard
disk
drive
and
follow
those
instructions
in
addition
to
the
instructions
in
this
chapter.
The
server
supports
one
of
the
following
hard
disk
drive
configurations:
v
Do
not
use
both
SAS
and
SATA
drives
in
the
same
array.
v
The
2.5-inch
server
models
support
four
hot-swap
SAS
hard
disk
drives.
You
can
install
only
2.5-inch
hot-swap
SAS
drives
in
these
servers.
v
The
3.5-inch
server
models
support
two
hot-swap
SAS
or
hot-swap
SATA
hard
disk
drives.
You
can
install
only
3.5-inch
hot-swap
SAS
or
hot-swap
SATA
drives
in
these
servers.
v
The
simple-swap
server
models
support
two
3.5-inch
simple-swap
SATA
hard
disk
drives.
You
can
install
only
3.5-inch
simple-swap
SATA
drives
in
these
servers.
v
All
hot-swap
drives
in
the
server
should
have
the
same
throughput
speed
rating.
Using
hard
disk
drives
with
different
speed
rating
will
cause
all
drives
to
operate
at
the
throughput
speed
of
the
slowest
drive.
Installing
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
To
install

or
3.5-inch
hard
disk
drive,
complete
the
following
steps.
Note:
If
you
have
only
one
hard
disk
drive,
you
must
install
it

left
or
upper-left
bay.
