Installing A 5.25-Inch Removable-Media Drive - IBM Netfinity 7100 User's Reference Manual

If the amber hard-disk status light for a drive is lit continuously, that
individual drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the green hard-disk
activity light is flashing, the drive is being accessed.
Note: If you have installed a RAID controller, you might need to reconfigure
your disk arrays after installing hard disk drives. Refer to the
documentation provided with the adapter.

Installing a 5.25-inch removable-media drive

Refer to the following illustration when installing a 5.25-inch removable-media drive.
Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive. Also, check the instructions
that come with the drive to see if you need to set any switches or jumpers on the
drive.

To install a removable-media drive in one of the left front bays:
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 use a search term of ESD:

1. Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 66.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices. Disconnect all external cables and
remove the top cover.
3. Remove the media-bay bezel.
4. Remove the filler panel from the bay opening. Keep the filler panel nearby.
Note: The server EMI integrity and cooling are both protected by having the left
front 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.
5. Touch the static-protective bag containing the drive to any unpainted metal
surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the bag and place it on a static-
protective surface.
6. Remove the snap-on slide rails from the filler panel and snap the rails on the
drive. Store the filler panel for later use.
