b. Align the rails on the drive assembly with the guide rails in the drive bay.
c. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive connects to the
backplane.
d. Push the tray handle toward the closed position until it locks the drive in
place.
6. Check the hard disk drive status indicators to verify that the hard disk drive is
installed properly (see "Server controls and indicators" on page 6 for the
location of the status indicators).
v When the amber light is on continuously, the drive has failed.
v If you have a RAID adapter installed:
– When the amber light flashes slowly (one flash per second), the drive is
being rebuilt.
– When the amber light flashes rapidly (three flashes per second), the
controller is identifying the drive.
7. If your server is a tower model, close and lock the server door.
Installing a non-hot-swap drive
Notes:
1. The server electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling are both
protected by having the non-hot-swap bays covered or occupied. When you
install a drive, save the filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove the
drive and do not replace it with another.
2. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.

To install a non-hot-swap drive (5.25-inch, removable media) in one of the
non-hot-swap bays:
1. Read the information in "Preinstallation steps (all bays)" on page 54.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and then remove the cover and the
bezel (see "Removing the left-side cover (tower model)" on page 43 for
details).
3. Remove the filler panel from the bay opening by pulling the filler panel away
from the server. You do not need the filler panel when you have a drive
installed in the bay.
