Installing a rear disk drive in the 9006-22P system
Learn how to install a disk drive in the rear of the IBM®

Before you begin
Rear drives are an optional feature. You can install SATA and SAS rear drives with the system
powered on and running.
About this task
Procedure
Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
The ESD wrist strap must be connected to an unpainted metal surface until the service
procedure is completed, and if applicable, until the service access cover is replaced.
Attention:
Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD)
wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack, or to an unpainted metal surface of your
hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from damaging your hardware.
When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all
electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is used 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 an ESD 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. If at any point in
this service process you move away from the system, it is important to again discharge yourself by
touching an unpainted metal surface for at least 5 seconds before you continue with the service
process.
Unlock the drive bay handle (B) by pushing in the handle release
(A) as shown in Figure 1. The
handle (B) snaps out towards you. If the handle does not snap out all the
way, the drive does not slide out of the system.

pins (B) in the tray as shown in Figure 2.Figure 2. Inserting the rear drive in the tray
While checking the alignment pins, press the sides (A) of the tray

Figure 3. Closing the rear drive tray
Ensure that the drive handle is open. Support the drive by the bottom as you
position the drive, and insert it into the drive slot.
Ensure that the drive is fully seated and is all the way into the system.
Lock the drive bay handle (A) by pushing in the handle release until it
locks at (B) as shown in Figure 4.

For a non-RAID drive, configure the installed drive for your environment. If the drive is part
of a RAID configuration, skip this step, the drive is detected and configured when inserted.
After you insert the new drive, you need to rescan for the device.
