Installing a SAS or SATA media device in the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D

Use this procedure to install a serial-attached SCSI (SAS) or a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) media device.

1. Identify the system that you will be working on by using the identify the system process to turn on the system locate (blue) indicator. For instructions, see Control panel LEDs.
2. Use the service indicator light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help identify the part. For instructions, see Identifying a part.
3. Complete the prerequisite tasks. For instructions, see Before you begin.
4. Stop the system. For instructions, see Stopping a system or logical partition.
5. Remove the front cover:
   • For a rack-mounted system, see Removing the front cover from a rack-mounted model .
   • For a stand-alone system, see Removing the front cover from a stand-alone model .
6. For a rack-mounted system, place the system into the service position. For instructions, see Placing a rack-mounted model into the service position.
7. Remove the service access cover:
   • For a rack-mounted system, see Removing the service access cover from a rack-mounted model.
   • For a stand-alone system, see Removing the service access cover from a stand-alone model.
8. Disconnect the power source from the system by unplugging the system. For instructions, see Disconnecting the power cords.

9. Attach the wrist strap.
   Attention:

   • Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging your hardware.
   • When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical equipment.
   • If you do not have a wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
10. Remove the bezel filler and tape drive filler, if present.
11. Install the rails onto the media device by using the two small screws included with your media device. The rails must be placed on each side of the media device. Screw the rails into the side of the media device by using the lower screw hole.
12. Connect the SAS cable to the drive.
13. Push the media device (B) into the system until you feel the latches (C) lock in place as shown in the following figure.

14. Attach the media-device connections to the system backplane.
    CAUTION:
    Ensure that you properly orient the connectors to the socket to prevent misplugging the connectors and to prevent damage to the drive and system backplane.
