Step 5: Install the hard drives
After the storage enclosures are secured in the rack, install the hard drives into the
drive bays. For a list of supported hard drives, see the compatibility guide, located
on the Technical documents page of the MSA1500 website:
http://www.hp.com/go/msa1500cs .
Caution: Follow industry-standard practices when handling hard drives.
Internal storage media can be damaged when drives are shaken, dropped, or
roughly placed on a work surface. When installing a hard drive, make sure it
is fully seated in the drive bay. To remove a hard drive, press the release button
and pull the drive only slightly out of the enclosure.Then, to allow time for the
internal disk to stop rotating, wait approximately 10 seconds before completely
removing the drive from the enclosure.
Note: HP recommends installing hard drives in bay-number sequence. Locate this
information for your storage enclosure in the enclosure documentation.
For information about installing hard drives, refer to the instructions that came
with the hard drive and the enclosure.
Go to Table 13: “Hard Drive Information” on page 114 to record information
about your hard drives.
