To install a 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps.
Step 1. Unlock the left-side cover.
Note: You must unlock the left-side cover to open or remove the bezel. When you lock the left-side
cover, it locks both the cover and the bezel.
Step 2. Open the bezel (see "Opening the bezel media door" on page 181).
Step 3. Remove the filler panel, if one is present.
Step 4. Touch the static-protective package that contains the disk drive to any unpainted metal surface
on the server; then, remove the disk drive from the package.
Step 5. Make sure that the tray handle is open; then, install the hard disk drive into the hot-swap bay.
Step 6. Rotate the drive handle down until the drive is seated in the hot-swap bay and the release latch
clicks into place.

Notes:
1. After you install the hard disk drive, check the disk drive status LEDs to verify that the hard
disk drive is operating correctly. If the yellow hard disk drive status LED is lit continuously, that
drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the
drive is being accessed.
2. If the server is configured for RAID operation through an optional ServeRAID adapter, you
might have to reconfigure your disk arrays after you install hard disk drives. See the ServeRAID
documentation on the Lenovo ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about RAID
operation and complete instructions for using ServeRAID manager.
Step 7. Close the bezel (see "Closing the bezel media door" on page 183).
Step 8. Lock the left-side cover.
