Use this information to install the optional 3.5-inch hard
disk drive hardware RAID cage.
Before you install the hard disk drive cage, complete the
following steps:
- Read Safety and Installation guidelines.
- If the compute node is installed in an IBM NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure, remove it (see Removing a compute node from a chassis for instructions).
- Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface,
orienting the compute node with the bezel pointing toward you.
To install the optional 3.5-inch hard disk drive hardware
RAID cage, complete the following steps.

a 3.5-inch hard disk drive hardware RAID cage
- Remove the cover (see Removing the compute node cover).
- Position the hardware RAID cage in the bezel at an angle
and rotate the cage into position on the system board.
- Align the cage with the screw holes on the system board.
- Using a Phillips screwdriver, insert the 4 screws and secure
the cage in the compute node.
- Install the easy-swap hard disk drive #7 (see Installing a 3.5-inch hard disk drive).
- Connect the power cable and the mini-SAS cable on the system-board
and the storage tray respectively (see Cabling hard disk drive with ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller).

tray
After you install the hard disk drive cage, complete the
following steps:
- Install the cover onto the compute node (see Installing the compute node cover for instructions).
- Install the compute node into the chassis (see Installing a compute node in a chassis for instructions).
