To install a drive in a hot-swap drive bay:
Attention: When you handle Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive devices (ESD), take
precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these
devices, refer to the following Web site and search for ESD: http://www.ibm.com
1. Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 66.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more
than two minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed for each bay.
2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your
finger into the depression on the filler panel and pulling it away from the server.
3. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Ensure the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive).
b. Align the drive/tray assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
c. Gently push the drive/tray assembly into the bay until the drive connects to
the backplane.
d. Push the tray handle down until it locks.
4. Check the hard disk drive status indicators to verify that the hard disk drive is
operating properly. (See "Controls and indicators" on page 5 for the location of
the status indicators.)
• When the amber light is on continuously, the drive has failed.
• When the amber light flashes slowly (one flash per second), the drive is
being rebuilt. (This occurs only if you have a RAID adapter installed.)
• When the amber light flashes rapidly (three flashes per second), the
controller is identifying the drive. (This occurs only if you have a RAID
adapter installed.)
• The green activity light flashes when there is activity on the drive.
