3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the hard disk drive to any
unpainted surface on the outside of the server; then, remove the hard disk drive
from the package.
4. Make sure that the drive handle is open; then, install the hard disk drive into the
hot-swap bay.
5. 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 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 the
Problem Determination and Service Guide on the IBM Documentation CD for
hard disk drive problem solutions.
6. (IBM Business Partners only) Restart the server. Confirm that it starts correctly
and recognizes the newly installed devices, and make sure that no error LEDs
are lit.
7. (IBM Business Partners only) Complete the additional steps in “Instructions for
IBM Business Partners” on page 19.
Notes:
1. 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.
2. If you install more than one bootable hard disk drive in the server, you must use
the LSI Configuration Utility program to select the hard disk drive to boot from.
For information on LSI Configuration Utility program, see the documentation that
comes with your ServeRAID controller.
