4.2.2 What to Do

1. Prepare the system to receive the new disk drive.

   The hot-plug installation procedure involves software commands for preparing the system prior to installing the disk drive. See your Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner's Guide.

2. If you are not hot-plugging the disk drive, halt the operating system and turn off system power.

   See "2.1 How to Power Off the System".

3. Push the disk drive latch to the right to release the disk drive handle.

   

4. Align the disk drive to its drive bay.

   Orient the drive so that the drive handle's hinge is on the left side of the drive bay.

   Note -

   If you are reinstalling a drive that you previously removed, be sure to reinstall the drive in the same bay from which it was removed.

5. Holding the drive by its handle, fit the drive into the guide rails at the left and right of the drive bay.

6. Slide the drive into the bay until it lightly contacts the backplane.

7. Press carefully on the center of the drive and watch as the handle begins to close.

   The drive handle begins to close as the drive engages its backplane connector.

8. Press the handle firmly toward the drive until the latch closes, securing the drive in the bay.

9. Close and lock the system doors.

   Turn the keyswitch to the Locked position. This locks the system front doors, preventing access to the power supply(s) and to the disk drive(s).

10. If you are performing a hot-plug installation, complete the software part of the installation procedure.
