To install a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 25.
2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays.
Note: When you install a drive in bays 4 through 7, you must first install a hard
disk drive backplane.
3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the hard disk drive to any
unpainted surface on the outside of the server; then, remove the hard disk drive
from the package.
4. Make sure that the drive handle is open; then, install the hard disk drive into the
hot-swap bay.
Note: When you turn on the server, check the hard disk drive status LEDs to make
sure 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.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 59.
