Use this information to remove and install drives.
The following notes describe the type of hard disk drives that
the server supports and other information that you must consider when
you install a hard disk drive. For a list of supported hard disk drives,
see the IBM ServerProven website.
- Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and
follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this
chapter.
- Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that
are specified in the documentation that comes with the drive.
- Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.
- Check the instructions that come with the drive to determine whether
you have to set any switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing
a SAS or SATA hard disk drive, be sure to set the SAS or SATA ID for
that device.
- The compute node supports up to one 3.5-inch, two 2.5-inch, or
four 1.8-inch easy-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drives.
- For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server,
