c. Gently slide the drive into the empty slot until the tray handle touches the

6. Check the drive LEDs.
a. When a drive is ready for use, the green activity LED and the amber status
LED are off.
b. If the amber status LED is lit and not flashing, remove the drive from the
unit and wait 10 seconds; then, reinstall the drive. If the amber LED is
flashing, the drive is rebuilding.
Controller management information: In some cases, the RAID controller will automatically
reset the drive to the Hot Spare or Rebuild state. If the drive state change does not occur
automatically (amber LED stays lit), refer to your controller management documentation for
information about manually changing the state of the drive from the current state to another
state, such as Hot Spare or Ready. The amber LED should turn off within 10 seconds after
the drive-state change.
