When you install a drive, PCI, or PCI Express adapter, save the EMCshield and filler panel from the bay or PCI or PCI Express adapter slot cover inthe event that you later remove the device.v For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, seehttp://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.To install a 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drive, complete the followingsteps:1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”on page 167.2. Remove the filler panel from the empty drive bay.3.
