Installing a media enclosure in the 8234-EMA, 9117-MMA, or 9406-MMA with the system powered off

Learn to install the media enclosure after powering off the system.

If your system is managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the HMC to complete the steps for installing a feature in the server. For information about using the HMC to install a feature, see Installing a part using the Hardware Management Console.

If you do not have an HMC, complete the following steps to install a media device from the system or partition that controls the media device:

Stop the system. For instructions, see Stopping the system or logical partition.
If you have created an IBM® i logical partition on your system unit, see on the Hardware Information Web site.
Remove the front cover from the system. For instructions, see Removing the front cover from the model 8234-EMA, 9117-MMA, or 9406-MMA.
Remove the media-enclosure filler if present.
Align the media enclosure (A) with the guide rails on each side of the bottom of the disk-drive backplane.
Gently slide the media enclosure fully into the disk-drive backplane. The orange push pins (B) line up with the two open holes on the top of the disk-drive backplane.
