1. Read the safety information beginning on page v, and "Installation guidelines" on page 20. 2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays. 3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the hard disk drive to any unpainted surface on the outside of the serve; then, remove the hard disk drive from the package. 4. Make sure that the tray handle is open; then, install the hard disk drive into the hot-swap bay. Notes: 1. When you turn on the server, check the hard disk drive status LEDs to make sure that the hard disk drive is operating correctly. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, that drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed. 2. If the server will be configured for RAID operation using a ServeRAID controller, you must configure the disk arrays before installing the operating system. See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about RAID operation and complete instructions for using ServeRAID Manager. Chapter 2.
