Step 7. Rotate the drive handle to the closed position.
Step 8. Check the hard disk drive status indicator to make sure that the hard disk drive is operating
correctly. After you replace a failed hard disk drive, the green activity LED flashes as the disk spins
up. The yellow LED turns off after approximately 1 minute. If the new drive starts to rebuild, the
yellow LED flashes slowly, and the green activity LED remains lit during the rebuild process. If the
yellow LED remains lit, see the "Hard disk drive problems" on page 147 for more information.
Note: You might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after you install hard disk drives. See the
RAID documentation on the Lenovo website at http://www.lenovo.com/support for information
about RAID adapters.
Step 9. Close the bezel (see "Closing the bezel door" on page 181).
