Chapter 1

Replacing the Hard Disk Drive and Mounting Brackets

CAUTION Electrostatic Discharge Hazard. Observe all ESD safety precautions while completing this

procedure. Failure to follow ESD safety precautions could result in damage to the 14-Slot Shelf

and equipment.

To replace the HDD and HDD mounting brackets, complete the following steps:

Step 1. Place the HDD body on a flat anti-static working surface, with the HDD circuit-side facing up (as

shown in Figure 1-22).

Step 2. Using the four countersunk screws removed earlier and the two HDD mounting brackets (see

Figure 1-23), attach the mounting brackets to the HDD body (see Figure 1-22).

Step 3. Holding the HDD and the mounting bracket assembly with the circuit-side down, slide the HDD

body assembly in the direction of the arrows in order to mate the HDD body connector with the

blade SAS connector on the HP bc2100 ATCA Server Blade (Figure 1-21).

Step 4. Ensure that the HDD assembly connector is fully mated to the Server Blade on-board connector,

and that the HDD mounting bracket holes align with the four HDD mounting studs on the blade.

Step 5. Insert the four panhead HDD mounting bracket screws (removed earlier) into the HDD mounting

bracket holes and mounting posts under the brackets in order to affix the HDD assembly to the

blade (Figure 1-20). Tighten the screws to 67.7 newton cm (6 in-lbs).

Step 6. Insert the four countersunk blade cover panel retaining screws previously removed, and tighten

them.

Step 7. This completes replacement of the Server Blade Hard Disk Drive. The blade is now ready for

re-installation.
