5. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay (the connector end of
the drive goes in first).
6. Pull the round blue loops of the drive assembly toward each other; then,
carefully slide the drive assembly into the drive bay until it stops, and release
the loops.
Note: Do not release the loops on the drive assembly until it is completely
seated.
7. If you have another drive to install or remove, do so now.
8. Install the bezel (see “Installing the bezel” on page 49).
9. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the attached
devices and turn on the server.
Note: 3TB hard disk drives are not supported in OS 4690.
Power and signal cables for internal drives
The server uses cables to connect SATA attached, simple-swap SATA devices to
the power supply and to the system board. (See “System-board internal connectors”
on page 19 for the location of system-board connectors.) Review the following
information before connecting power and signal cables to internal drives:
v The drives that are preinstalled in the server come with power and signal cables
attached. If you replace any drives, remember which cable is attached to which
drive.
v When you install a drive, make sure that one of the signal cable drive connectors
is connected to the drive and that the connector at the other end of the signal
cable is connected to the system board or a compatible adapter or controller that
you have installed.
v When you route a cable, make sure that it does not block the airflow to the rear
of the drives or over the microprocessor or DIMMs.
