Three pack Ultra160 hot-swap expansion kit installation - IBM eServer xSeries 350, Netfinity 6000R

Content

You can install an optional Netfinity 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit in the server to connect three additional hot-swap hard disk drives to the server. This kit contains a hot-swap hard disk drive backplane that you install adjacent to the standard hot-swap hard disk drive backplane. The server supports a maximum of two hot-swap drive back-planes.

Notes:

1. In addition to the optional hot-swap drive backplane, the Netfinity 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit comes with a hard disk drive cage. Do not install the hard disk drive cage on the server, as the hard disk drive cage is not compatible with the Netfinity 6000R server. The Netfinity 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit can be installed in various types of Netfinity servers; the hard disk drive cage is used with other types of servers.
2. Cable identifiers are printed on the cables that come with the server and options. Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct connectors. For example, the hard disk drive cables are labelled HDD.
3. For information on cabling options and using the Netfinity 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion option, refer to the documentation that comes with the option kit.
4. The hot-swap drive backplane components are shown at 'Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive'.
   
   Note: The hard-disk drive activity light and hard-disk drive status light on the backplane match the hard-disk drive activity light and hard-disk drive status light on the front of the server.

The following illustration shows the rear connectors on the SCSI repeater card after the repeater card is installed, as viewed from the rear of the server.

The following illustration shows how to install a Netfinity 3 pack Ultra160 hot-swap expansion kit.

1. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and external cables; then, remove the top cover.
2. Refer to the documentation that comes with the option to assemble the hot-swap expansion option.
3. Align the hot-swap expansion option with the empty slot at the rear of the optional hard disk drive cage, adjacent to the standard hot-swap hard disk drive back-plane.
4. Slide the hot-swap expansion option down into the guides on the slot at the rear of the optional hard disk drive cage, and secure it to the server with the blue slide latch located on top of the optional hard disk drive cage.
5. Refer to the documentation that comes with the option to complete the installation of the option.
6. Install additional internal hot-swap hard disk drives in the optional hard disk drive cage, and connect the drives to the optional hot-swap backplane. You can connect a maximum of three hot-swap hard disk drives to the optional hot-swap backplane.
   
   Note: If you connected these optional hot-swap hard disk drives to the optional hot-swap backplane, then the optional hot-swap backplane sets the SCSI IDs for the optional hot-swap backplane and the hot-swap hard disk drives.
   
   
7. Install any other options for the server.
