36 Intel® Server System SC5650BCDP Service Guide

Installing and Removing a Fixed Hard Drive

You can install up to six fixed hard drives in the fixed hard drive cage that ships with the

Intel

Server System SC5650BCDP. Power requirements for each individual hard drive

may limit the maximum number of drives that can be integrated into the server chassis.

Note: The Intel

Server System SC5650BCDP does not support all hard drives.

Installing a Fixed Hard Drive

Caution: Fixed drives are NOT hot-swappable. Before removing or replacing the drive, you must

first take the server out of service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system,

turn off the system by pressing the power button, and unplug the AC power cord from the

system or wall outlet.

Warning: You MUST populate drive bay slots 1, 3, and 5 first. Failure to do so could result in

thermal issues within the chassis.

Note: SAS/SATA drives illustrated.
