IBM eServer xSeries 226 Type 8648 Option Installation Manual page 33

Complete the following steps to install a hot-swap hard disk drive.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more
than 10 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.
1. Read the safety information beginning on page v and the "Installation
guidelines" on page 7.
2. Unlock the side cover.
3. Slide the drive-bay lock bar to the left to access the drive bays.
4. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your
finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away
from the server.
5. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Make sure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive).
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 indicator to make sure that the hard disk
drive is operating properly. (You might have to restart the server before the
drive is recognized.) If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit
continuously, it indicates that the drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the
green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, it indicates that the drive is
being accessed.
Note: If the server is configured for RAID operation using an optional
™
ServeRAID adapter, you might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after
installing hard disk drives. See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM
ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about RAID operation and
complete instructions for using ServeRAID Manager.
