8. If the system is turned on, check the hard disk drive status LED to verify 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 amber LED turns off after approximately 1 minute. If the new drive
starts to rebuild, the amber LED flashes slowly, and the green activity LED remains
lit during the rebuild process. If the amber LED remains lit, see “Hard disk drive
problems” on page 44.
Note: You might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after you install hard disk
drives. See the RAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for
information about RAID controllers.
