5. 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.
6. Make sure that the drive tray handle is in the open position.
7. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay; then, carefully slide the
drive assembly into the drive bay until the drive snaps into place.
8. Rotate the drive tray handle to the closed position.
9. Check the hard disk drive status indicator to make sure that the hard disk drive
is operating correctly.
After you replace a failed hard disk drive, the green activity LED flashes as the
disk spins up. The yellow LED turns off after approximately 1 minute. If the new
drive starts to rebuild, the yellow LED flashes slowly, and the green activity LED
remains lit during the rebuild process. If the yellow LED remains lit, see the
Problem Determination and Service Guide for more information.
Note: You might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after you install hard disk
drives. See the RAID documentation on the IBM website at
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/ for information about RAID
adapters.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 109.
