Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive

To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps.
Note: If you have only one hard disk drive, install it in the left drive bay.
Attention: To avoid damage to the hard disk drive connectors, make sure that the
server cover is in place and fully closed whenever you install or remove a hard disk
drive.
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Installation guidelines"
on page 69.
2. Make sure that the server cover is in place and fully closed.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for
more than 10 minutes without either a drive or filler panel installed in each bay.
3. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Make sure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the front of
the drive).
b. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
c. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops.
d. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position.
e. Check the hard disk drive status LED to make sure that the hard disk drive
is operating correctly. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is
lit continuously, that drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the green
hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed.
