If you are installing additional hot-swap hard disk drives, do so now.ResultsIf you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to“Completing the installation” on page 96.Installing simple-swap hard disk drivesUse this information to install simple-swap hard disk drives.About this taskYou must turn off the server before installing simple-swap drives in the server.Before you install a simple-swap SATA hard disk drive, read the followinginformation. For a list of supported hard disk drives, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/.v Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and follow thoseinstructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter.v Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified inthe documentation that comes with the drive.v Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.v Check the instructions that come with the drive to determine whether you haveto set any switches or jumpers on the drive.
