2. Remove the filler panel from the empty drive bay. Keep the filler panel in a safe
place.
3. 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.
4. 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 with the guide rails in the bay.
c. Gently push the drive into the bay until the drive stops.
d. Rotate 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 yellow hard disk drive status LED of 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.
5. If you are installing additional hot-swap hard disk drives, do so now.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 101.
IDs for 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives
The hot-swap-drive ID that is assigned to each drive is printed on the front of the
server. The following illustration shows the location of the IDs of the hard disk
drives. The ID numbers and the drive bay numbers are the same.
