Installing a drive on module in the 9006-22C system

Learn how to install a drive on module (DOM) in the IBM® Power® System LC922 (9006-22P) system.

Before you begin

Power off the system and place it in the service position. For instructions, see Preparing the 5104-22C, 9006-22C, or 9006-22P system to remove and replace internal parts.

About this task

You can plug SATA drive on module (DOM) drives directly into the system backplane. Up to two SATA DOM drives can be installed. Use the two orange SATA connectors.

Procedure

  1. 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.
  2. Install the DOM into the system backplane, in positions (A), as shown in Figure 1.
    Depending on the DOM model, you might also have to plug in a small power cord for the DOM. Ensure that you plug in the connectors properly.

  3. Prepare the system for operation. For instructions, see Preparing the 5104-22C, 9006-22C, or 9006-22P system for operation after you remove and replace internal parts.
  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.
    Ubuntu Linux® operating system
    To run the rescan-scsi-bus command in the Ubuntu Linux operating system, log in to the system as the root user, and run the following command:
    rescan-scsi-bus
    The rescan-scsi-bus tool is available in the scsitools package; install the package by using the following command:
    sudo apt-get install scsitools
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 7.2
    To run the rescan command in the REHL version 7.2 operating system, log in to the system as the root user, and run the following command:
    rescan-scsi-bus.sh -a
    The rescan-scsi-bus tool is available in the sg3_utils package; install the package by using the following command:
    yum install sg3_utils
