HP StorageWorks DAT Internal Autoloader Getting Started Guide

Step 4: Prepare the mounting bay

Warning To avoid personal injury or damage to the server or autoloader, ensure that the server is

disconnected from the mains power supply while you install the drive.

Caution Static electricity can damage electronic components. Always wear an antistatic wriststrap if

one is available. If not, after you have disconnected power from the server and removed the

cover, touch a bare metal part of the chassis. Similarly, touch a bare metal part of the drive

before installing it.

1 Assemble the necessary tools and materials:

• Phillips screwdriver

• Flat-bladed screwdriver (if your server uses slotted screws)

• Torx screwdriver (if your server uses torx screws)

• Your server manuals (for reference during installation)

Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the server and any connected peripherals.

3 Remove the cover and front panel from the server, as detailed in your server’s documentation.

As you work inside the server, you may have to disconnect the SCSI cable or power cable

from other devices to maneuver the new drive into place. If you have to do this, make a note

of their position and connections so you can put them back correctly later.

4 Remove the front filler panel from a full-height, 5¼-inch bay of your server, as illustrated. Keep

any screws for use in step 8 on page 25.

Ensure the autoloader has clearance above the drive, particularly if another peripheral is

installed above it.
