After this task is completed
• If SED encryption is enabled on the system, reboot the system.
Note: When SED encryption is enabled, rebooting the system is required after installing a drive; without
rebooting, the drive will not be recognized by the host OS.
• Check the drive status LED to verify that the drive is operating correctly.
– If the yellow drive status LED of a drive is lit continuously, that drive is faulty and must be replaced.
– If the green drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed.
Note: For more details about the drive LEDs, see
“Drive LEDs” on page 187.
