If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, that drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed. Note: If your server is configured for RAID operation using the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities or an optional ServeRAID controller, you might need to reconfigure your disk arrays after installing hard disk drives. See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about RAID operation and complete instructions for using ServeRAID Manager. 6. If you are installing additional hot-swap hard disk drives, do so now; otherwise, continue with step 7. 7. Make sure the side cover is unlocked; then insert the hot-swap lock bar into the slots on the bezel and rotate it to the locked position. 8. Hold the hot-swap lock bar in the closed position, lock the side cover key lock, and close the server door. SCSI IDs for hot-swap hard disk drives The hot-swap-drive backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the internal hot-swap drive bays. The SCSI ID for each hot-swap hard disk drive is printed on the hot-swap lock bar. Table 5 lists the SCSI IDs for the hard disk drives and backplane that are connected to one channel in hot-swap hard disk drive models. In the typical configuration, the standard hard disk drives and backplane are connected to channel A. Table 5.

The drive cage is behind the front of the adapter-support bracket. Drives are installed starting at the bottom in bay 7. Additional drives are then installed in bays 6, 5, and 4. Notes: 1. You can install up to four non-hot-swap hard disk drives in your server. The additional space in the drive cage above bay 4 is not designed to accommodate any additional drives. 2. When installing non-hot-swap hard disk drives, you might find it easier to lay the server on its side. Complete the following steps to install a drive in bay 4, 5, 6, or 7: 1. Review the safety information beginning on page 129 and "Installation guidelines" on page 33. 2. Turn off the server and all attached devices. 48 IBM xSeries 225 Types 8649: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
