Installing or Removing Internal Drives
Notes:
1. The Netfinity 5000 server EMI integrity and cooling are both protected by
having the hot-swap bays covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save
the filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove the drive and do not
replace it with another.
2. The hot-swap bays connect to a SCSI backplane. This backplane is the
printed circuit board behind the hot-swap bays.
To install a drive in a hot-swap bay:
1. Remove the filler panel 1 from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting
your finger into the depression at the top of the filler panel (tower model) or left
side of the filler panel (rack model) and pulling it away from the server.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the Netfinity
5000 server for more than two minutes without either a drive or a filler panel
installed for each bay.

3 Tray handle
2. Install the hard disk drive 2 in the hot-swap bay.
a. Ensure the tray handle 3 is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive).
b. Align the drive-tray assembly so that it engages the guide rails in the bay.
c. Gently push the drive-tray assembly into the bay until the drive connects to
the backplane.
d. Push the tray handle toward the drive until the handle locks.
