The easiest way to install your drive

Most blade servers are designed to make it easy to install or replace the hard drive. Refer to your system’s user manual for the location of the hard drive compartment and the specific instructions regarding drive installation or replacement.

Some systems are sealed and require specialized tools to gain access to the hard drive.

Note. Special training or tools may be needed to service some computers. In some cases, opening the case may void your warranty. Consult your system documentation.

Refer to your system manufacturer’s support website for the most up-todate information. Read and follow all instructions regarding the proper steps to be taken when replacing the hard drive.

What you need

• A Phillips screwdriver

• Existing drive mounting screws

• Existing drive mounting framework, cage or tray

• Available (unused) SATA interface connector

Handling precautions/electrostatic discharge protection

• Disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Handle the drive only by the edges or frame. Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge

(ESD) bag until you are ready to install it to minimize handling damage.

• Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. While installing the drive, wear a wrist strap and cable connected to ground.

• Turn off the power to the host system during installation.

• Do not disassemble the drive. Doing so voids the warranty. See the warranty information on page 2.

• Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or to the top of the drive.

Installing the drive

Each system has its own unique hard drive compartment. Refer to your system manual to locate this compartment and for instructions on removing and replacing the hard drive.

Warning.

Ensure that power to the drive is removed or turned off. In a blade server, this typically means turning off power to the blade server itself, not the host chassis.

Note.

This drive is designed for a blade server system that supplies interface signals and +5V power through a single SATA connector. Most blade servers have a fixed connector that attaches directly to the drive.

Some blade servers allow two drives to be installed and set up in a mirrored RAID configuration. If this is your situation, ensure that the storage capacities and speeds of the two drives are identical to avoid potential performance and reliability problems.

Configuring the drive

Each drive on the Serial ATA interface connects in a point-to-point configuration with the Serial ATA host adapter. Serial ATA drives are designed for easy installation with no jumpers, terminators, or other settings. It is normally not necessary to set any jumpers on this drive for proper operation.

Drive mounting

You can mount the drive using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive:

• Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.

• Use only M3 x 0.5 mounting screws. Reusing the existing screws may be acceptable provided you do not overtighten the screws.

• Gently tighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 4.0 in-lb).

• Four (4) threads (0.080 inches) minimum screw engagement recommended.

Configuring the BIOS

After completing the drive installation, restart your blade server according to your system documentation. Your blade server may automatically detect your new drive. If your server does not automatically detect your new drive, follow the steps below.

1.

Restart your blade server. While it restarts, run the system setup program (sometimes called BIOS or CMOS setup). This is usually done by pressing a special key, such as DELETE, ESC, or F1 during the startup process.

2.

Within the system setup program, instruct the blade server to auto detect your new drive.

3.

Save the settings and exit the setup program.

When your blade server restarts, it should recognize your new drive. If your system doesn’t recognize your new drive, see the troubleshooting section on this sheet.

System manufacturer’s operating system restore CD

Refer to your blade server documentation for specific instructions on restoring the operating system on your newly installed hard drive. Many computers require the use of an operating system restore CD, originally shipped with the system, to reload the operating system on the hard drive.

Preparing the drive using DiscWizard

We recommend using DiscWizard Starter Edition to automatically partition and format your drive. DiscWizard software is available at www.seagate.com and is free. To run DiscWizard:

1.

Insert your bootable DiscWizard Starter Edition diskette or CD and follow the instructions. DiscWizard will guide you through the installation process.

2.

Boot your computer from the Windows operating system CD-ROM or from your system startup diskette with the Windows CD loaded. Follow the instructions provided on your screen.

Troubleshooting

If your drive is not working properly, these troubleshooting tips may help solve the problem.

1.

Does the drive spin up? A spinning drive produces a faint whine and clicking noise. If your drive does not spin, check that the power connector and interface cable are securely attached.

2.

Does the computer recognize the drive? Verify that the drive is enabled in the system CMOS or setup program. If not, select the auto detect option and enable it. If your drive has a problem, it may not be recognized by the system. If the operating system does not recognize the drive, you need to load your host adapter drivers.

3.

Does FDISK detect the drive? Run the FDISK program located on your Windows startup diskette. Type fdisk/status to verify that your hard drive is present and recognized by the system.

4.

I’m running Windows 98 and FDISK is not reporting the full

capacity of my drive. Why? You need to upgrade your version of

FDISK if you are using the diskettes or CD that came with your original

Windows 95 or 98 operating system. Microsoft provides a free downloadable FDISK upgrade. See Microsoft Knowledgebase article number: 263044 located at http://support.microsoft.com.

5.

Does ScanDisk find the drive defect-free? ScanDisk is a utility located on your Windows startup diskette that scans the drive for defects. If defects are detected, this may be an indication of a problem.

6.

Why does my computer hang on startup? Verify that your system is

SATA compatible. You need either an SATA-compatible motherboard connector or SATA host adapter to use this drive.

Note.
