Installing a Slimline media device in the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D

Use this procedure to install a Slimline media device.

Attention: If you are servicing a failing part, see the service procedures for Removing a Slimline media device from the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D. The following procedure is intended for installing a new or upgraded media device.

Before installing or replacing a feature, ensure that the software required to support the feature is installed on your system. For information about software prerequisites, see IBM Prerequisite. If the required software is not installed, see the following websites to download it, and then install it before continuing:

To download firmware and software updates and fixes, see Fix Central.
To download Hardware Management Console (HMC) updates and fixes, see Hardware Management Console Support and downloads.

If your system is managed by the an HMC, use the HMC to complete the steps for installing a feature in the server. For instructions, see Installing a part by 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:

Identify the system that you will be working on by using the identify the system process to turn on the system locate (blue) indicator. For instructions, see Control panel LEDs.
Use the service indicator light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help identify the part. For instructions, see Identifying a part.
Complete the prerequisite tasks as described in Before you begin.
Stop the system. For instructions, see Stopping a system or logical partition.
Remove the front cover:
- For a rack-mounted system, see Removing the front cover from a rack-mounted model .
- For a stand-alone system, see Removing the front cover from a stand-alone model .
Disconnect the power source from the system by unplugging the system. For instructions, see Disconnecting the power cords.

Attach the wrist strap.
Attention:
- Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging your hardware.
- When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical equipment.
- If you do not have a wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
Remove the filler, if present.
Find the package that contains the new media device and remove it from the static-protective package.
Align the media device with the Slimline media bay, and support the bottom of the device as you slide it halfway into the system.
Push the device fully into the system as shown in the following figure. To ensure that the device is held firmly in place, push in the lever (A).

Replace the front cover:
- For a rack-mounted system, see Installing the front cover on a rack-mounted model.
- For a stand-alone system, see Installing the front cover on a stand-alone model.
Start the system. For instructions, see Starting the system or logical partition.
Verify the installed part:
- If you replaced the part because of a failure, verify the installed part as described in Verifying a repair.
- If you installed the part for any other reason, verify the installed part as described in Verifying the installed part.
If this is a rack-mounted model, close the front rack door.
