ProLiant DL145 Generation 3 Server Maintenance and Service Guide

Removal and replacement procedures 23
If you are installing the new drive in an empty drive bay, use the HDD carrier and mounting screws you
removed from that drive bay.
b. Secure the hard drive to the HDD carrier with the four mounting screws.
c. Slide the hard drive assembly into the chassis.

CAUTION: Route the SATA data cables neatly. Follow the bundle of cables along the right side of the chassis.
The cables should be routed in a position where they will not be pinched or crimped by the top cover, and
they should not hamper proper airflow inside the chassis.
4. Route the SATA data cable:
a. Connect the SATA data cable to an open SATA connector on the system board (P19 or P23) if it is not
already connected.
b. Route the SATA data cable between the processor 2 socket DIMM slots and the PCI Express x4 slot to
the right edge of the chassis (as viewed from the front of the server).
c. Route the SATA data cable toward the front of the chassis, following the bundled cables.
d. Route the SATA data cable between the drive bays and the system fans.
5. Connect the SATA data and power cables to their corresponding connectors on the rear of the new drive.
If necessary, you can remove the system fans to allow easier access to the drive connectors. Perform steps 2
to 4 in the “Removing a system fan” section described on page 51 to remove each system fan, then
continue with this procedure.

6. Check that all cables are clear of the HDD carrier and are properly routed to their corresponding
connectors, then tighten the screw that secures the hard drive assembly to the chassis.
If you removed the system fans in the previous step, perform steps 1 to 3 in the “Installing a system fan”
section described on page 53.
7. Perform the post-installation procedures described on page 12.
