Removing a simple-swap hard disk drive
Filler panel
3.5 inch simple-swap
hard disk drive
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.
To remove a hard disk drive from a simple-swap bay, complete the following steps.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii, “Handling static-sensitive
devices” on page 193, and “Installation guidelines” on page 191.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables.
Note: When you disconnect the power source from the server, you lose the
ability to view the LEDs because the LEDs are not lit when the power source is
removed. Before you disconnect the power source, make a note of which LEDs
are lit, including the LEDs that are lit on the operation information panel, on the
light path diagnostics panel, and LEDs inside the server on the system board;
then, see Chapter 3, “Diagnostics,” on page 25 for information about how to
solve the problem.
3. Remove the filler panel from the drive bay.
4. Slide the blue release latch to the right with one finger (to release the drive)
while using another finger to grasp the black drive handle and pull the hard disk
drive out of the drive bay.
5. Reinstall the drive bay filler panel that you removed earlier.
6. If you are instructed to return the simple-swap drive, follow all packaging
instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to
you.
Installing a simple-swap hard disk drive
Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions in this section.
Simple-swap models do not support the SAS hot-swap backplane or the SAS riser
card.
For information about the type of hard disk drive that the server supports and other
information that you must consider when installing a hard disk drive, see the
Installation and User’s Guide on the IBM Documentation CD.
Important: Do not install a SCSI hard disk drive in this server.
