Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for
more than two minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed for each
bay.
To install a drive in a hot-swap drive bay:
1. If your hard disk drive is not installed on the drive tray, place the drive in the
drive tray and, being careful not to over-tighten the screws , attach the drive to
the tray using the four screws provided with the option kit.
2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your
finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away
from the server.
Note:
If you are installing a half-high hard disk drive, you will need to remove
two adjacent filler panels. The two filler panels should be from either the
top pair of bays, the middle pair of bays, or the bottom pair of bays.
3. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Ensure the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive).
b. Align the rails on the drive/tray assembly with the guide rails in the drive
bay.
c. Gently push the drive/tray assembly into the bay until the drive connects to
the backplane.
d. Push the tray handle toward the closed position until it locks the drive in
place.
4. If you installed a half-high hard disk drive, install a filler panel in the gap
above the drive:
a.
Locate the slim filler bezel that is designed for use with half-high drives. It
is stored on the empty tray of the filler panel that you removed earlier in
this procedure.
b. Pull the slim filler bezel off the filler panel.
c. Gently push the slim filler bezel 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 “Server controls and indicators” on page 7 for the
location of the status indicators).
v
When the amber light is on continuously, the drive has failed.
v
When the amber light flashes slowly (one flash per second), the drive is
being rebuilt.
v
When the amber light flashes rapidly (three flashes per second), the
controller is identifying the drive.
v
If you have a RAID adapter installed, when the green Activity light is on
continuously the drive is ready.
Note: If your server has a RAID adapter installed, refer to the information
provided with the RAID adapter for information about adding a drive.
Replacing a drive in a hot-swap bay
You do not have to turn off the server to remove or install the hot-swap drives.
Attention:
1. Before you remove a hot-swap hard disk drive that is not defective, back up all
important data.
