Removing a hard disk drive
To remove a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii, “Installation guidelines” on
page 36, and “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 38.
2. Press up on the release latch at the top of the drive front.
3. Move the handle on the drive to the open position (perpendicular to the drive).
4. Pull the hot-swap drive assembly out of the bay approximately 25 mm (1 in.).
Wait approximately 45 seconds while the drive spins down before you remove
the drive assembly completely from the bay.
Note: You might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after you remove a hard
disk drive. See the RAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for
information about RAID controllers.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 106.
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.
