Guidelines for installing hard drives
•
Install only hard drive models specified for your ProLiant server. Installing unsupported hard
drives may damage the system by consuming power and generating heat in excess of the
server’s operating tolerance. This condition may result in a loss of system and/or data integrity.
•
When installing an additional hard drive (HDD 2), use the HDD 2 drive carrier. This carrier has
five pre-installed HDD mounting screws.
•
If you removed the HDD 2 without plans of installing a new one, you must reinstall the mounting
screws to the blank HDD carrier, and then reinstall the carrier in the chassis for proper cooling of
the system.
To install a hard drive:
1.
Remove the primary and secondary access panels.
2.
If you intend to replace the default HDD 1, proceed to step 3.
If you intend to install an additional hard drive in the HDD 2 bay, proceed to step 4.
3.
Remove the default HDD 1 module.
a.
Disconnect the data and power cables from the rear of the hard drive (1).
b.
Remove the screw that secures the HDD 1 carrier (2).
Reuse this screw when you install the new hard drive.
