DEVICE INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL PROCEDURE

Install or remove a component from the server as described in the following procedure.

2.5-inch Hard Disk Drive

The 2.5-inch device bay on the front of the server contains eight slots in which hard disk drives can be installed. The
device bay is not equipped with any hard disk drives (excluding when one or more built-in hard disk drives are ordered).
Purchase additional hard disk drives if necessary.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use any hard disk drives that are not authorized by the manufacturer. Installing a
third-party's hard disk drive may cause a failure of the server as well as the hard disk
drive. Purchase hard disk drives of the following models:
– 73.2GB HDD (10,000rpm)
– 146.5GB HDD (10,000rpm)
– 36.3GB HDD (15,000rpm)
– 73.2GB HDD (15,000rpm)
The supported RAID level depends on the RAID Controller that is used.
– Onboard RAID Controller:
RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID6, RAID10, and RAID50 (See "RAID System
Configuration" in Chapter 4.)
– Optional RAID Controller:
Refer to the RAID Controller User's Guide.
In a RAID System configuration, use the same hard disk drives model.
A dummy tray is installed in the 2.5-inch disk bay that do not include a hard disk drive. The dummy tray increases the
cooling effect in the server.
Installation
Follow the steps below to install a hard disk drive. This procedure applies to all the slots.
NOTE: A hard disk drive can be installed or removed in or from the server only by
removing the front bezel without pulling out the server from the rack. In a RAID System
configuration (except for RAID0), the hard disk drive can be installed or removed without
powering off the server.
