d. Push the tray handle to the right until it locks.
4. If you installed a half-high hard disk drive, install a
filler panel
.1/
in the gap above the drive:
a. Locate the smaller filler panel
.1/
that is
designed for use with half-high drives. It is
stored on the slim-high filler panel
.2/
that you
removed earlier in this procedure.
b. Pull the smaller filler panel off the filler panel.
c. Gently push the filler panel
.1/
into place in the
gap above the drive.
5. Check the hard disk drive status indicators to verify
that the hard disk drives are operating properly. See
“Status LEDs” on page 195 for details.
6. If the server is a tower model, close and lock the
server door.
Note
If the server has a RAID controller, you must
reconfigure the disk arrays after installing hard
disk drives.
Replacing a drive in a hot-swap bay:
You do
not have to turn off the server to remove a drive from the
hot-swap bays.
Attention:
1. Before you remove a hot-swap hard disk drive that is
not defective, back up all important data.
2. To avoid damage to a hard disk drive, DO NOT
remove the drive from the hot-swap bay until it has
had time to spin down (approximately 30 seconds).
Handle the drive carefully.
3. Before you hot-swap a drive, make sure it is
defective. If you partially or completely remove a
good drive instead of a defective one the server might
lose valuable data.
This situation is especially relevant if the server has a
RAID adapter installed and you assigned RAID level
1 or 5 to the logical drives in the disk array. The
RAID adapter can rebuild the data that you need,
provided that certain conditions are met. Refer to the
information provided with the RAID adapter for further
details.
