CSI Hard-Disk Drive Indicator Patterns
The three light-emitting diode (LED) indicators adjacent to
each of the six SCSI hard-disk drive bays provide informa-
tion on the status of the SCSI hard-disk drives. The SCSI
backplane firmware controls the drive online and drive
failure indicators, whereas the drive activity indicators are
usually controlled by the drives themselves.
See the "SCSI Hard-Disk Drive Indicator Codes" section
in Chapter 3 and see Table 3-3 for more information.
Removing a SCSI Hard-Disk Drive With the
System Running
Remove a SCSI hard-disk drive with the system running
as follows:
1. Wait until the drive status indicators adjacent
to the drive bay signal that the drive may be
removed safely.
If the drive has been online, the three drive status
indicators will flash sequentially as the drive is pow-
ered down. When all three indicators are turned off,
the drive is ready for removal.
2. Remove the hard-disk drive.
Follow the instructions in "Removing a SCSI Hard-
Disk Drive" found earlier in this chapter.
Inserting a SCSI Hard-Disk Drive With the
System Running
Insert a SCSI hard-disk drive with the system running as
follows:
1. Remove the drive or empty carrier from the drive
bay as described in the previous subsection.
2. Insert the new drive carrier into the bay.
Follow the instructions in "Installing a SCSI Hard-
Disk Drive" found earlier in this chapter.
The drive online indicator turns on.

nstalling a PowerEdge Expandable
RAID Controller Host Adapter Card
Use the following procedure to install the PowerEdge
Expandable RAID Controller host adapter card.
CAUTION: See "Protecting Against Electrostatic
Discharge" in the safety instructions at the front of
this guide.
1. Unpack the PowerEdge Expandable RAID Con-
troller host adapter card, and prepare it for
installation.
Refer to the documentation accompanying the host
adapter card.
2. Remove the computer covers.
See "Removing the Computer Covers" in Chapter 7.
3. Remove the Ultra/Wide SCSI cable from the
computer.
Detach one end of the cable from the SCSI host
adapter connector labeled "BACKPLANE SCSI1"
on the system board.
Detach the other end of the cable from the connector
labeled "SCSI" on the SCSI backplane board.
4. Install the PowerEdge Expandable RAID Con-
troller host adapter card in one of the Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI) expansion slots.
See "Installing an Expansion Card" in Chapter 8.
5. Connect the new Ultra/Wide SCSI cable provided
in the PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller
kit to the connector labeled "SCSI" on the SCSI
backplane board (see Figure 10-3).
