7. Insert the filler panel into the bay to cover the drive.
If you have other devices to install, do so now. Otherwise, go to “Completing the
installation” on page 54.
Note:
v If a RAID controller or adapter is installed, you might have to reconfigure
the disk arrays after you install hard disk drives. See your RAID controller
or adapter documentation.
v Simple-swap SATA hard disk drives support AHCI mode.
v Simple-swap models only support ServeRAID-BR10il adapter.
To remove a simple-swap SATA drive from the bay, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 27.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cord and
all external cables.
3. Remove the filler panel from the bay.
4. Pull the loops of the drive tray toward each other and pull the tray out of the
bay.
Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive
The 3.5-inch drive hot-swap server models support either two SAS 3.5-inch hard
disk drives or two SATA 3.5-inch hard disk drives.
The 2.5-inch drive hot-swap server models support four SAS 2.5-inch hard disk
drives.
The installation procedure is the same for any of these drives. The illustrations in
this procedure show 3.5-inch SAS drives. To install a hot-swap hard disk drive,
complete the following steps.
Note: If you have only one hard disk drive, you must install it in the left or
upper-left drive bay.
