5. Use a screwdriver to pry the filler panel and EMC shield away from the server.6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpaintedmetal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package andplace it on a static-protective surface.7. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation thatcomes with the drive.8. Remove the drive retainer clip from the side of the drive cage of bays 1 and 2(see the illustration at the beginning of this section). Slide the drive retainer clipto the left to remove it from the drive cage; then, snap the drive retainer clipinto the screw holes on the side of the drive (the blue side of the drive retainerclip should be facing outward).9. Push the drive into the bay.10. Connect one end of the applicable signal cable into the rear of the drive andmake sure that the other end of this cable is connected into the applicableconnector on the system board.11. Route the signal cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of thedrives or over the microprocessor and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).12. If you have another drive to install or remove, do so now.13. Connect the power cable to the rear of the drive. The connectors are keyedand can be inserted only one way.If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to“Completing the installation” on page 42.Installing a hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA hard disk driveSome server models come with SAS or SATA hard disk drives. Before you install ahot-swap hard disk drive, read the following information:v The hot-swap drives must be either all SAS hard disk drives or all SATA harddisk drives. Do not mix SAS and SATA drivesv Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage.v Make sure that the drive is correctly installed in the tray.v To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each drive bay.v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swapdrive bays.The server hot-swap bays are connected to a SAS/SATA backplane. Thisbackplane, also known as the hot-swap-drive backplane, is the printed circuit boardbehind these bays.Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components whenthe server is powered-on might cause the server to stop, which could result in theloss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-dischargewrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with thepower on.Note: If you install the maximum number of hot-swap hard disk drives (four),remove the EMC shield that is attached inside the lower bezel.Chapter 2.
