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.

Installing the Hot Swap Hard Disk Drive
CAUTION Use one of the six (6) vertical shelves in the system. Do not
attempt to install the hot swap hard disk drive in the
horizontal shelves.
Protect the hot swap hard disk drive from static electricity by
leaving it in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
Before handling the hard disk drive, touch any unpainted
metal surface to discharge static electricity. When you remove
the hard disk drive from the antistatic bag, handle it only by
the frame.
Do not touch the electrical components. Place the hard disk
drive on the antistatic bag whenever you set it down.
1. If there is a filler panel in the disk shelf, remove that panel.
2. On the hot swap hard disk drive, press the locking tab down, and lift the
lever up as far as it can go. (See Figure 1-3.) Lifting the lever retracts the
locking pin at the top of the hard disk drive.

3. Holding the hard disk drive as shown in Figure 1-3, slide the hot swap
hard disk drive slowly into the shelf until it stops.
4. Press the lever down as far as it will go.

Removing the Hot Swap Hard Disk Drive
1. To unlock the hot swap hard disk drive, push the tab down and then lift
the front lever.
2. Pull the hard disk drive out about an inch (2.5 cm) to break the power
connection.
3. Wait about 30 seconds for the hard disk drive to stop spinning and the
drive heads to park.
4. Use your hand to support the bottom of the hard disk drive, as shown in
Figure 1-4. Slowly pull the hard disk drive straight out. Do not allow the
hard disk drive to fall.
5. Turn the hard disk drive slowly to its horizontal storage orientation.
6. Place the hard disk drive in an electrostatic protected container. Do not
stack hot swap hard disk drives.
