Installing and removing drives
Your server’s basic configuration includes one optical drive and as many as four SATA or SAS
hot-swap hard drives. An optional diskette drive can also be added in place of the hard drive
on the left side of the server.
As you prepare to install drives, remember:
• You must install the optional diskette drive in the left converted hard drive bay.
• Before you install a drive, see the drive’s documentation for information on configuring
the drive, setting drive jumpers, and attaching cables.
• You may need to configure the drives you install using the BIOS Setup utility. Press F2 at
startup to open the BIOS Setup utility.

that you turn off the server, then unplug the power cord(s) and all other cables connected
to the server.

drive, make sure that power is turned off and the power cord is unplugged.
