6. Check the hot-swap hard-disk-drive status LEDs to ensure that the hard disk drive is operating correctly.
You might have to restart the server for the newly installed hard disk drive to be recognized. See
“Hot-swap-drive status LEDs” on page 43. If the hard disk drive is faulty, you need to reinstall or
replace it until it is operating correctly.
7. Do one of the following:
• If you are installing a hot-swap hard disk drive, save the removed dummy hard-disk-drive tray in case
that you later remove the hot-swap hard disk drive and need a dummy tray to cover the drive bay.
• If you are replacing a hot-swap hard disk drive and are instructed to return the old hot-swap hard
disk drive, follow all packaging instructions and use any packaging materials that are supplied to
you for shipping.
What to do next:
• To work with another piece of hardware, go to the appropriate section.
• To configure RAID, go to “Configuring RAID” on page 54.

The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive bays covered or occupied. The
number of the installed drives in your server varies depending on the server model. The vacant bays are
either covered by an EMI-protective panel or occupied by dummy trays. When installing a drive, save the
removed dummy tray in case that you later remove the drive and need the dummy tray to cover the place.
