IDs for hot-swap hard disk drives
On some models, the hot-swap-drive backplane controls the IDs of the internal
hot-swap drive bays. The following table lists the IDs of the hard disk drives and
backplane that are connected to one channel in the hot-swap models. In the typical
configuration, the standard hard disk drives and backplane are connected to
channel A. This table applies only to server models that support four hard disk
drives.

Installing a simple-swap SATA hard disk drive
Some server models support 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA hard disk drives, which
are accessible from the front of the server. You must disconnect all power from the
server before you remove or install simple-swap drives. Before you install a
simple-swap SATA hard disk drive, read the following information:
v You can install four simple-swap SATA hard disk drives in the simple-swap
models.
v Install the drives starting from the top bay to the bottom bay (bay 4, 5, 6, and
then 7).
v The four simple-swap SATA hard disk drive connects to the SATA 0 through
SATA 3 connectors on the system board as follows:
– The drive in bay 4 connects to the SATA 0 connector on the system board.
– The drive in bay 5 connects to the SATA 1 connector on the system board.
– The drive in bay 6 connects to the SATA 2 connector on the system board.
– The drive in bay 7 connects to the SATA 3 connector on the system board.
Attention: Simple-swap hard disk drives are not hot-swappable. Disconnect all
power from the server before you remove or install a simple-swap hard disk drive.
