Server tc4100’s non-hot swap-drive bays.

4. If working on a rack-mounted Server, follow the appropriate instructions to safely extend the Server from

the rack. Then remove the covers and front bezel.

5. Select an available drive bay for the device and remove the filler panel.

6. Configure the device according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

7. If you are installing a boot device, check the boot priority described earlier in this chapter.

hardware on the device.

Refer to the directions included with the device’s mounting hardware.

9. Slide the drive into the open shelf.

CAUTION

Protect the drive from static electricity by leaving it in its antistatic bag until you are
ready to install it. Before handling the drive, touch any unpainted metal surface to
discharge static electricity. When you remove the drive from the antistatic bag, handle it
only by the frame.

Do not touch the electrical components. Place the drive on the antistatic bag whenever
you set it down.
