For details, see the notes under step 4 on page 50, and the documentation that comes with the drive. v If you install only one hard disk drive, for faster startup, install it in the primary boot device bay. For hot-swap SCSI drives, the drive in bay 1 is the primary boot device. For IDE drives, the drive in bay 2 is the primary boot device. v If you are installing a hot-swap drive, continue with "Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive." If you are installing a non-hot-swap drive, go to "Installing a non-hot-swap hard disk drive." Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive Before you install a hot-swap hard disk drive, review the following information: v Inspect the drive tray for any signs of damage. v Ensure that the drive is installed in the tray correctly. v If your server has an optional RAID adapter installed, see the documentation provided with the adapter for information about installing a hard disk drive.

Install the new hard disk drive in the drive bay. 4. Check the hard disk drive status LED and activity LED to verify that the drive is operating correctly. 5. If you have other options to install, install them now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 59.
