Installing a 3.5-Inch Non-Hot-Plug Hard Drive Into

a 5.25-Inch Hard Drive Adapter

IMPORTANT: If you are installing a 3.5-inch hard drive into a removable media device

bay for the first time, you must use the hard drive adapter found in the removable media

device blanks. See “Removing the Removable Media Device Blanks” earlier in this

chapter.

To install a 3.5-inch hard drive into a 5.25-inch hard drive adapter:

CAUTION: Before removing the access panel, make sure that the server is

powered down, all cables are disconnected from the server, and the power cord

is disconnected from the grounded (earthed) AC outlet.

1. Follow the steps in “Removing the Access Panel” and “Removing the

Removable Media Device Blanks” earlier in this chapter. The removable

media device blank now becomes the hard drive adapter.

2. Place the hard drive into the hard drive adapter.

3. Tighten the alignment screws on each side of the adapter to secure the

hard drive into the adapter.
