3 Mount the Drive in the NetServer
E 45
This chapter provides instructions for installing a hard disk drive in the HP
NetServer E 45.
Consider the following when installing a drive in an HP NetServer E Series
system.
The HP NetServer E 45 supports up to four 4 GB or four
9 GB drives.
Drive types D4910A and D4911A are supported in the HP
NetServer E 45.
Drive types D4910A and D4911A are not supported in the HP NetServer E
40 or the HP NetServer E 30.
NOTE
The HP NetServer E 45 ships with drive mounting trays
installed in shelves 3 and 4. Drives shipped as accessories
usually come installed on a factory tray, which must be
removed. The drive must be put on an NetServer E 45 tray.
Step 1: Determine the Drive Location
The drive can be mounted in one of several possible locations in the system. If you
decide to mount the drive on shelf 5 or 6 (recommended), you will fasten the drive
to the chassis. If you decide to install the drive on shelf 3 or 4, you will mount the
drive onto a tray, which is installed in one of the shelves.
Decide whether to mount the drive on shelf 5 or 6 (recommended) or on
shelf 3 or 4. See Figure 3-1 for the locations of shelves in the system, and
some of the cabling options.
