Complete the following steps to install a drive in a hot-swap bay. Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay. 1. Read the safety information that begin on page v, and "Installation guidelines" on page 9. 2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays. 3. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay: a. Make sure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive). b. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay. c. Gently push the 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 status LED to verify that the hard disk drive is operating properly. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, that drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed. Note: You might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after installing hard disk drives. See the RAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for more information. If you have other devices to install, do so now. Otherwise, go to"Completing the installation" on page 29. Installing an additional microprocessor The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing a microprocessor: v The server supports up to two AMD Opteron microprocessors. If the server comes with one microprocessor, you can install a second microprocessor but it must be the same type and speed. v You might have to update the BIOS code. Be sure to read the documentation that comes with the microprocessor so that you can determine whether you have to update the BIOS code. You can download the latest level of BIOS code and many other code updates for your server at http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/ support/xseries/index.html. v (Optional) Obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported operating systems and other optional devices, go to http://www.ibm.com/servers/ esever/serverproven/compat/us/. v To order an additional microprocessor, contact your IBM marketing representative or authorized reseller. v The microprocessor speeds are automatically set for this server; therefore, you do not have to set any microprocessor frequency-selection jumpers or switches. v If you have to replace a microprocessor, call for service. v If the thermal-grease protective cover (for example, a plastic cap or tape liner) is removed from the heat sink, do not touch the thermal grease on the bottom of the heat sink or set down the heat sink. v Do not remove the first microprocessor from the system board to install the second microprocessor.

Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
a
drive
in
a
hot-swap
bay.
Attention:
To
maintain
proper
system
cooling,
do
not
operate
the
server
for
more
than
10
minutes
without
either
a
drive
or
a
filler
panel
installed
in
each
bay.
1.
Read
the
safety
information
that
begin
on
page
v,
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
9.
2.
Remove
the
filler
panel
from
one
of
the
empty
hot-swap
bays.
3.
Install
the
hard
disk
drive
in
the
hot-swap
bay:
a.
Make
sure
that
the
tray
handle
is
open
(that
is,
perpendicular
to
the
drive).
b.
Align
the
drive
assembly
with
the
guide
rails
in
the
bay.
c.
Gently
push
the
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
status
LED
to
verify
that
the
hard
disk
drive
is
operating
properly.
If
the
amber
hard
disk
drive
status
LED
for
a
drive
is
lit
continuously,
that
drive
is
faulty
and
must
be
replaced.
If
the
green
hard
disk
drive
activity
LED
is
flashing,
the
drive
is
being
accessed.
Note:
You
might
have
to
reconfigure
the
disk
arrays
after
installing
hard
disk
drives.
See
the
RAID
documentation
on
the
IBM
ServeRAID
Support
CD
for
more
information.
If
you
have
other
devices
to
install,
do
so
now.
Otherwise,
go
to“Completing
the
installation”
on
page
29.
Installing
an
additional
microprocessor
The
following
notes
describe
the
type
of
microprocessor
that
the
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
a
microprocessor:
v
The
server
supports
up
to
two
AMD
Opteron
microprocessors.
If
the
server
comes
with
one
microprocessor,
you
can
install
a
second
microprocessor
but
it
must
be
the
same
type
and
speed.
v
You
might
have
to
update
the
BIOS
code.
Be
sure
to
read
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
microprocessor
so
that
you
can
determine
whether
you
have
to
update
the
BIOS
code.
You
can
download
the
latest
level
of
BIOS
code
and
many
other
code
updates
for
your
server
at
support/xseries/index.html.
v
(Optional)
Obtain
an
SMP-capable
operating
system.
For
a
list
of
supported
operating
systems
and
other
optional
devices,
go
to
esever/serverproven/compat/us/.
v
To
order
an
additional
microprocessor,
contact
your
IBM
marketing
representative
or
authorized
reseller.
v
The
microprocessor
speeds
are
automatically
set
for
this
server;
therefore,
you
do
not
have
to
set
any
microprocessor
frequency-selection
jumpers
or
switches.
v
If
you
have
to
replace
a
microprocessor,
call
for
service.
v
If
the
thermal-grease
protective
cover
(for
example,
a
plastic
cap
or
tape
liner)
is
removed
from
the
heat
sink,
do
not
touch
the
thermal
grease
on
the
bottom
of
the
heat
sink
or
set
down
the
heat
sink.
v
Do
not
remove
the
first
microprocessor
from
the
system
board
to
install
the
second
microprocessor.
