Installing and Swapping
a Hard Disk Drive in a Hot-Swap Disk Drive Bay
The 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay on the front of the server contains four slots on which
hard disks can be installed. The drive bay is not equipped with any hard disks
(excluding when one or more built-in hard disks are ordered). Purchase the hard disks
additionally if required.
■
Do not use any hard disks not approved by the server manu-
facturer. If an unapproved third party's hard disk is installed
in the server, not only the hard disk but also the server itself
may be defective.
■
For the disk array configuration, refer to the manual that
comes with the disk array controller.
A hard disk having the thickness of 1 inch can be installed on each of the slots. The
drive IDs of the slots are fixed to ID0 to ID3 from bottom to top.
In the configuration at the shipment, the cable on the 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay is
connected to the SAS connector on the mother board.
To provide the disk array configuration, connect the cable on the 3.5-inch hard disk
drive bay to the disk array controller. The standard of the hard disk to be added must be
the same as that of the existing disks.
Empty hard drive trays are installed in the empty slots of the 3.5-inch hard disk drive
bay. This is intended to improve the cooling effect within the server.
Always keep an empty tray in any slot in which a hard disk is not installed.
This section describes how to install a new hard disk drive or swapping out a faulty
drive from one of the six hot-swap disk drive. The 3.5-inch disk drives must use the
industry standard 80-pin single connector attachment (SCA) connector. Each drive
must be installed in a carrier.
