2. 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.
3. Make sure that the drive tray handle is in the open position.
4. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay; then, carefully slide
the drive assembly into the drive bay until the drive stops.
5. Rotate the drive tray handle to the closed position.
6. Check the hard disk drive status indicator to make sure that the hard disk
drive is operating correctly. (You might have to restart the server for the drive
to be recognized.) If the yellow 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, this indicates that the drive is
being accessed.
Note: If the server is configured for RAID operation using a ServeRAID
controller, you might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after you replace hard
disk drives. See the ServeRAID documentation for additional information about
RAID operation and complete instructions for using ServeRAID Manager.
7. Install the lower bezel (see “Replacing the lower bezel” on page 190).
Removing the hard disk drive fan duct
This procedure applies only to the 5U server model with hot-swap power supplies.
To remove the hard disk drive fan duct on the 5U server model with hot-swap
power supplies, complete the following steps.
1. Turn off the server and all attached devices; then, disconnect all power cords
and external cables.
2. Unlock and remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 38).
3. Carefully turn the server on its side so that it is lying flat, with the system
board facing up.
Attention: Do not allow the server to fall over.
4. Unfasten the retention clips that secure the hard disk drive fan duct cable and
then disconnect the hard disk drive fan duct cable from the system board.
The following illustration is for 5U server models with 2.5" hot swap hard disk
drives installed.
