Operations
To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the D2220sb before
Important Safety Information
Before installing this product, read the Important Safety Information document provided.
Power up the storage blade
Observe the following guidelines before powering up the D2220sb:
• Be sure that a drive is installed in the first drive bay. The partner server blade identifies and configures
any installed drives during power up. For more information, see "Drives (on page 17)."
• Be sure that drives or drive blanks are installed in the second and third drive bays. To prevent improper
cooling and thermal damage, the first three drive bays must be populated.
• Be sure that the partner server blade is powered down.
• Be sure that the D2220sb is installed as shown in the installation guidelines (on page 12).
To power up the D2220sb:
1. Install the D2220sb. The system health LED flashes amber.
2. Power up the partner server blade. See the server blade documentation.
3. Observe the D2220sb system health LED. When the D2220sb is recognized, the system health LED
illuminates solid green.
The D2220sb can now be viewed in Onboard Administrator.
Power down the storage blade
In systems that use the D2220sb as external data storage, be sure that the partner server blade is the first unit
to be powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system and
the OS are shut down in an orderly manner.
IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the D2220sb.
To power down the D2220sb, power down the partner server blade. See the server blade documentation.
Remove the D2220sb
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION:
beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause ESD.
Operations 8
To remove the component:
1. Identify the proper D2220sb.
2. Power down the partner server blade.
3. If the partner server blade is a full-height server blade, do one of the following:
o Remove the blank installed above the D2220sb.
o Remove the half-height device installed above the D2220sb.
For information about removing a half-height device, see the half-height device user guide.
4. Remove the D2220sb:
o Partnered with a half-height server blade
Operations 9
o
Partnered with a full-height server blade
5. Place the D2220sb on a flat, level work surface.
Remove the access panel
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server blade
before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause ESD.
CAUTION: Do not operate the D2220sb with the access panel open or removed. Operating the
D2220sb in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal
damage.
To remove the component:
1. Power down the partner server blade.
2. Remove the D2220sb (on page 8).
3. Press the access panel release button.
4. Slide the access panel toward the rear of the D2220sb.
5. Remove the access panel.
Install the access panel
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, properly ground the server blade
before beginning any installation procedure. Improper grounding can cause ESD.
Operations 10
CAUTION: Do not operate the D2220sb with the access panel open or removed. Operating the
D2220sb in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal
damage.
To install the component:
1. Place the access panel on top of the D2220sb. Allow the panel to extend past the rear of the D2220sb
approximately 0.8 cm (0.2 in).
2. Slide the access panel toward the front of the D2220sb. The access panel locks into position.
