Installing a non-hot-plug hard drive
The server supports up to four SATA hard drives with the embedded controller.
The server supports up to four SAS hard drives with the following options:
• Optional SAS controller
• Optional SAS controller cable
• Optional SAS hard drive LED cable (" SAS hard drive LED cable option " on page 37 ) (for LED
functionality)
For optimal performance, do not mix SAS and SATA hard drives.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless
all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
IMPORTANT: If only one hard drive is installed, install it in the bay with the lowest device
number. For drive installation guidelines, refer to "SAS and SATA hard drive guidelines (on page
54 )."
To install the component:
1. Power down the server (on page 15 ).
2. Remove the server from the rack (on page 15 ).
3. Remove the access panel (on page 16 ).
