Installing Hot Swap Hard Drives

To install Hot Swap hard drives in the Hot Swap drive slots, perform the following procedures:
CAUTION
1. Remove the filler panel from the drive slot.
Press the tab latches on the sides of the filler panel, and pull straight out to remove it from the
slot. Save the filler panel for future use.
CAUTION
2. Remove the SCSI drive from its protective packaging and open the ejector arms.
3. Slide the SCSI drive into the slot until you feel resistance. Then press in firmly until the drive is
fully seated into the connector on the SCSI back plane.
Protect the drive from static electricity by leaving it in its anti-static bag until you are
ready to install it. Before handling the drive, touch any unpainted metal surface to
discharge static electricity. When you remove the drive from the anti-static bag,
handle it only by the frame.
Do not touch the electrical components. Place the drive on the anti-static bag
whenever you set it down.
Operating the HP Netserver without filler panels in empty SCSI drive slots,
may cause the HP Netserver to suffer thermal damage and/or excessive EMI.
