c. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops.
d. Rotate the tray handle to the closed (locked) position.
e. Check the hard disk drive status LED to verify 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.
Note:
If the server is configured for RAID operation using a ServeRAID adapter, you might
have to reconfigure your disk arrays after you install hard disk drives. See the ServeRAID
adapter documentation for additional information about RAID operation and complete
instructions for using the ServeRAID adapter.
Step 5. If you are installing additional hot-swap hard disk drives, do so now.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to “Completing the installation” on
page 100 .
IDs for hot-swap hard disk drives
The hot-swap-drive ID that is assigned to each drive is printed on the front of the server.
The following illustration shows the location of the IDs of the hard disk drives. The ID numbers and the drive
bay numbers are the same.
