v If your server has a RAID adapter installed, review the information provided with the RAID adapter for information about replacing a drive. 2. If your server is a tower model, unlock and open the server door. Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 2 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed for each bay. 3. Locate the defective drive (look for an amber hard disk drive status light on the front of the drive). 4. Remove the defective hard disk drive. Move the handle on the drive to the open position (perpendicular to the drive), and pull the hot-swap drive assembly from the bay. 5. 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 assembly with the guide rails in the drive bay. c. Gently push the drive 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. 6. Check the hard disk drive status indicators to verify that the hard disk drive is installed properly (see "Internal drive bays" on page 58 for the location of the status lights). v When the amber light is on continuously, the drive has failed. v If you have a RAID adapter installed: - When the amber light flashes slowly (one flash per second), the drive is being rebuilt. - When the amber light flashes rapidly (three flashes per second), the controller is identifying the drive. 7. If your server is a tower model, close and lock the server door. Non-hot-swap drives Notes: 1. The server electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling are both protected by having the non-hot-swap bays covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove the drive and do not replace it with another. 2.
