Note: If you have only one hard disk drive, you must install it in the bay 0
(upper-left).
Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 283.
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.
