1 Installation Procedure

This guide describes how to attach an Ultra hot swap hard disk drive to a hot
swap tray and install the hard disk drive in your computer. Additionally, this
guide provides the cautions and instructions for removing and storing the hard
disk drive.

Installing the Hot Swap Hard Disk Drive in a Tray
(optional)

If you purchase a hot swap tray accessory (D3349B) separately from the hot swap
hard disk drive, follow these steps to attach the tray accessory:

1. Make sure that the hot swap hard disk drive meets the specifications
written on the hot swap tray label. If the hot swap drive is capable of
running Ultra2 at LVD (low voltage differential) signal levels, a jumper
must be installed on the drive to force the drive into SE (single-ended)

mode. Refer to the drive manual for the location of a “Force SE” jumper.

NOTE Not all Ultra2/LVD drives have this jumper. If the drive does

not have the Force SE jumper, that drive model will probably
not work with HP NetServer Ultra Hot Swap backplanes.

2. Attach the drive to the hot swap tray with the screws provided in the order
shown in Figure 1-1.

Unpacking and Shipping

Your system has a shipping plug to ensure that the hot swap hard disk drive is
not damaged while it is being transported. Save this plug. If you plan to transport
your system, reinstall your shipping plug as shown in Figure 1-2.
