Installing Cold Swap Hard Drives
Use the following steps to install cold swap hard drives:
1. If the server is operating, log off all users, back up files, and power down the server.
2. Disconnect the power cord and any external cables connected to the server. If necessary, label each one
to expedite re-assembly.
WARNING The power supply will continue to provide standby current to the HP Server until the
power cord is disconnected.
CAUTION Protect the drive from static electricity by leaving it in its anti-static 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 anti-static bag, handle it
only by the frame.
Do not touch the electrical components. Place the drive on the anti-static bag whenever
you set it down.
3. Using both hands, grasp the ejector arms of the filler panel in the desired drive slot and press inward
while pulling the filler panel towards you.
4. Slide the new drive into the open slot until you feel resistance, and then press firmly until the drive is
fully seated into the connector on the back plane and the latches have fully engaged the chassis.
5. Verify that the drive is flush with the other drives. If the drive is not flush, it is not seated properly in the
drive slot. Remove the drive and repeat Steps 4 and 5.
