IBM® xSeries 330: Installation Guide

3. Remove the filler panel or defective hard drive from one of the hard disk drive

bays.

4. Install the new hard disk drive in the drive bay:

a. Ensure the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive).

b. Align the rails on the drive assembly with the guide rails in the drive bay.

c. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive connects to the

backplane.

d. Push the tray handle toward the closed position until it locks the drive in

place.

5. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the server.

6. Check the hard disk drive status indicators to verify that the hard disk drives are

operating properly. (See “Server controls and indicators” on page 25 for the
location of the status indicators.)

Notes:

a. The green light flashes rapidly (three flashes per second) when the controller

is identifying the drive.

b. Replacing a hard disk drive is done in the same manner as installing a new

hard disk drive, but you must remove the old hard disk drive first.

c. If your server has a ServeRAID adapter installed, you can hot swap drives.

For more information about hot swapping drives, refer to the documentation
provided with the ServeRAID adapter and to the User’s Reference on the IBM
Documentation
CD.

Working with microprocessors

Microprocessors are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and should be handled
with care.

Attention:

When you handle electrostatic discharge sensitive devices, take

precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these
devices, refer to “Handling static sensitive devices” on page 4.

Your server comes with one or two microprocessors installed.

Servers with 1 microprocessor installed:

Microprocessor is installed in microprocessor socket 1 (U47).

Microprocessor supports both the startup and application processes.

A terminator card is installed in microprocessor socket 2 (U79).

Servers with 2 microprocessors installed:

One microprocessor is installed in microprocessor socket 1 (U47) and the second
microprocessor is installed in socket 2 (U79).

Both microprocessors share the system load.
