3.3 Hot-Swappable Component Installation Procedures
The following components are hot-swappable and do not require powering down the system or
removing the chassis cover:
• Hard disk drives
• AC and DC power supplies (if power redundancy is available)
3.3.1 Installing or Replacing a Hard Drive
Up to six hot-swappable SAS drives can be installed in your TIGH2U Server. You must remove the
front bezel to add or replace a hard drive in one of the six drive bays.
Caution: If you install fewer than six hard drives, the empty bays must have drive trays with
baffles in them to maintain proper system cooling.
The Carrier Grade Server TIGH2U does not support all SAS hard drives. To see a list of validated
manufacturers and hard drive types, see the Tested Hardware and Operating System List (THOL) at :
