This document provides information about the optional Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) hard drives, related features, and procedures not covered in the system Installation and Troubleshooting Guide. The following topics are covered:

• Features and indicators

• Installing SAS hard drives

• Replacing a SAS controller card

• SAS backplane boards

• SAS 2.5-inch peripheral interposer board

• Troubleshooting

Features and Indicators

The basic features and indicators are described in the system Installation and Troubleshooting Guide. The key changes incorporated in systems with optional SAS hard drives include the following:

• Systems with SAS drives include a SAS controller expansion card, in place of the integrated SCSI controller. SAS A and SAS B connectors on the backplane are connected to the SAS controller card.

• Systems with SAS drives include a SAS backplane for either the 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SAS hard drives.

• RAID capability for systems with internal SAS drives is provided by the SAS controller expansion card.

• The RAID battery cable attaches to a connector on the SAS controller card, instead of to the battery connector on the system board. See Figure 1-5.

• Systems with 2.5-inch SAS hard drives have the following additional changes incorporated:

– The 2.5-inch SAS backplane (see Figure 1-7) is connected to an additional board, the 2.5-inch SAS

peripheral interposer board (see Figure 1-10). The interposer board provides some of the connectors included on the 3.5-inch backplane.

– The control-panel cable is routed under the bay for fans 1 and 3 and connected to the back of the

2.5-inch SAS peripheral interposer board. (For 3.5-inch drives the control-panel cable connects to the front of the backplane on top of the hard drive bays.)

– The cooling shroud is modified to cover the space behind the hard drive bay, and cables and other

components are altered to accommodate the 2.5-inch drive bay and boards. Figure 1-1 illustrates the inside of a 2.5-inch system.

SAS Hard-Drive Indicator Codes

The hard-drive carriers have two indicators—the drive-activity indicator and the drive-status indicator. See Figure 1-2. The drive-status indicator lights to indicate the status of the drive.

6 SAS Information Update

Figure 1-2. Hard-Drive Indicators

1 drive-status indicator (green and amber) 2 green drive-activity indicator

Table 1-1 lists the drive indicator patterns for RAID hard drives. Different patterns are displayed as drive events occur in the system. For example, if a hard drive fails, the "drive failed" pattern appears. After the drive is selected for removal, the "drive being prepared for removal" pattern appears, followed by the "drive ready for insertion or removal" pattern. After the replacement drive is installed, the "drive being prepared for operation" pattern appears, followed by the "drive online" pattern.

bays.

the system board through one of two optional SAS backplane boards. See "SAS Backplane Boards" on page 13 for information on these backplane options.

Hard drives are supplied in special hot-pluggable drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive bays.

NOTICE: Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the

SAS RAID controller card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support hot-plug drive removal and insertion.

NOTE: It is recommended that you use only drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SAS

backplane boards.

You may need to use different programs than those provided with the operating system to partition and format SAS hard drives.

NOTICE: Do not turn off or reboot your system while the drive is being formatted. Doing so can cause a drive

failure.

When you format a high-capacity hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Long format times for these drives are normal. A 9-GB hard drive, for example, can take up to 2.5 hours to format.

Removing a Drive Blank

NOTICE: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive blanks installed. If you

remove a hard-drive carrier from the system and do not reinstall it, you must replace the carrier with a drive blank.

The process for removing a drive blank depends on whether your system is configured with 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch hard drives.

For 3.5-inch hard drive configurations:

Remove the front bezel, if attached. See "Opening the System" in the

Guide

Insert your finger under the shrouded end of the blank and press in on the latch to eject the blank outward from the bay.

Pry the ends of the blank outward until the blank is free.

Installation and Troubleshooting

For 2.5-inch hard drive configurations, remove the blank as you would the 2.5-inch hard drive carrier:

1 Remove the front bezel, if attached.

2 Open the drive blank release handle to release the blank. See

Installation and Troubleshooting

Installing a Drive Blank

The process for installing a drive blank depends on whether your system is configured with 3.5-inch or

2.5-inch hard drives.

For 3.5-inch hard drive configurations, the drive blank is keyed to ensure correct insertion into the drive bay. To install a 3.5-inch drive blank, insert and rotate in the keyed side of the blank into the drive bay and press evenly on the other end of the blank until it is fully inserted and latched.

For 2.5-inch hard drive configurations, install the hard drive blank the same way as you install a 2.5-inch hard drive carrier:

1 Remove the front bezel, if attached.

Troubleshooting Guide

Open the handle on the drive blank.

Insert the drive blank into the drive bay until the blank is fully seated.

Close the handle to lock the blank in place.

Installation and

Replacing a Hard Drive in a Hard-Drive Carrier

To remove a SAS hard drive from a drive carrier, remove the four screws from the slide rails on the harddrive carrier and separate the hard drive from the carrier.

To install a SAS hard drive in a drive carrier, perform the following steps:

NOTE: SAS hard drives must be installed only in SAS/SATAu drive carriers. The SAS/SATAu drive carrier has

marks indicating the SAS and SATA mounting screws.

1 Insert the SAS hard drive into the hard-drive carrier with the connector end of the drive at the rear.

Replacing a SAS Controller Card

CAUTION: Any installation that requires removal of the system cover is intended solely to be performed by

trained service technicians. See your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.

See "Installing an Expansion Card" in the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions about removing and installing the card. Figure 1-5 illustrates the SAS and RAID battery connections. See the SAS controller documentation for use and configuration information.

NOTE: The SAS controller card must be installed in expansion slot 5.

NOTE: Ensure that the SAS A and SAS B cables are connected to the backplane and the SAS controller card

connectors. Both cables must be installed for the drives to function.

SAS Backplane Boards

There are two SAS backplane board options, one supporting up to five 3.5-inch drives, and the other supporting up to eight 2.5-inch drives. For the 2.5-inch option only, an additional board, the peripheral interposer board, provides some of the connectors (see "Peripheral Interposer Board Connectors" on page 17).

SAS Backplane Connectors

Figure 1-6 shows the location of the connectors on the 3.5-inch backplane board, and Figure 1-7 shows the location of the connectors on the 2.5-inch backplane board.
