3. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Orient the drive as shown in the illustration.
b. Make sure that the tray handle is open
c. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
d. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops 1.
e. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position 2
f. 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 install a hard disk drive, the green activity LED flashes as the disk
spins up. The amber LED turn off after about 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 the Problem
Determination and Service Guide on the IBM Documentation CD for hard disk
drive problem solutions.
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.
