If you are installing a device with a 50-pin connector in one of the empty non-hot-swap bays (bays A–B), you need a 68-pin to 50-pin converter. To order the converter, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. Note: The server’s EMI integrity and cooling are both protected by having bays A and B covered or occupied.
Page 66
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than two minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed for each bay. To install a drive in a hot-swap drive bay: 1. If your hard disk drive is not installed on the drive tray, place the drive in the drive tray and, being careful not to over-tighten the screws, attach the drive to the tray using the four screws provided with the option kit.
Page 67
2. To avoid damage to a hard disk drive, DO NOT remove the drive from the hot-swap bay until it has had time to spin down (approximately 30 seconds). Handle the drive carefully. 3. Before you hot-swap a drive, make sure it is defective. If you partially or completely remove a good drive instead of a defective one, your server might lose valuable data.
6. Place the new hard disk drive on the hot-swap tray and, being careful not to over-tighten the screws, attach the drive to the tray using four screws. 7. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay: a. Ensure the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive). b.

Safety information The following section contains the safety information that you need to be familiar with before servicing an IBM mobile computer. General safety Follow these rules to ensure general safety: v Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.
Electrical safety CAUTION: Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables can be hazardous. To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the attached power cords, telecommunication systems, networks, and modems before you open the server covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures.
This guide addresses only those items. However, good judgment should be used to identify potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-IBM features or options not covered by this inspection guide.
Insulation must not be frayed or worn. 4. Remove the cover. 5. Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any non-IBM alterations. 6. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
Italian v Korean v Spanish Important: All caution and danger statements in this IBM documentation begin with a number. This number is used to cross reference an English caution or danger statement with translated versions of the caution or danger statement in this section.
