1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines"
on page 26.
2. Make sure that the server cover is in place and fully closed.
3. Remove the filler panel from the empty drive bay.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for
more than 10 minutes without either a drive or filler panel installed in each bay.
4. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place
it on a static-protective surface.
5. Install the hard disk drive in the drive bay:
a. Make sure that the tray handle is in the open (unlocked) position.
b. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
c. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops.
d. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position.
e. Check the hard disk drive status LED to verify that the hard disk drive is
operating correctly. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive 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.
Note: If the server is configured for RAID operation using a ServeRAID
adapter, you might have to reconfigure your disk arrays after you
install hard disk drives. See the ServeRAID adapter documentation
for additional information about RAID operation and complete
instructions for using the ServeRAID adapter.
6. If you are installing additional hot-swap hard disk drives, do so now.
Note: If the server is configured for RAID operation using a ServeRAID adapter,
you might have to reconfigure your disk arrays after you install hard disk
drives. See the ServeRAID adapter documentation for additional information
about RAID operation and complete instructions for using the ServeRAID
adapter.
