CAUTION: A hot-pluggable device can require interaction with the operating system before
you can safely remove or install the device into the server. Determine if the operating system
supports replacement of disk drives while the operating system is running. If the operating
system does not support this feature, shut down the operating system before performing these
procedures. Failure to observe this caution can result in system failure.
The following sections describe how to install a hot-pluggable disk drive.
Installing Hot-Pluggable Disk Drives
Up to three hot-plug disk drives can be installed in the server. Always use low profile disk drives
(1.0" height) in the server.
To install a hot-pluggable disk drive, follow these steps:
1. If required, stop the operating system. The OS does not support hot-plugging devices.
2. If a disk filler is installed, remove it by pulling the release lever.
3. With the release lever pulled out, slide a hot-pluggable hard disk into the disk slot until it
is seated.
4. Press the release lever until it is flush with the front of the server. The release lever clicks as
it locks into position.
5. If the operating system was stopped in step Step 1, reset the system to the EFI Boot
Maintenance Menu to rescan the hard drives.
6. If the operating system was stopped in step Step 1, use the EFI Shell map command to verify
that you correctly installed the newly inserted drive.
Installing Hot-Swappable Power Supply Units
The supported configuration of a server requires that two power supplies be installed. During
normal operations, the two power supplies share the load. Each provides power through a
separate power rail. A single power supply can provide all power needed for normal operations,
but a second power supply is installed to provide backup capability.
Hot-swappable power supplies 1 and 2 are located at the rear of the chassis. The power supplies
are identical and interchangeable.
