Filler panel Blade Drive handle (in open position) Storage expansion unit Hard disk drive Complete the following steps to install a drive in a storage expansion unit. Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the BladeCenter unit for more than 1 minute without either a hot-swap hard disk drive or a filler panel installed in each storage expansion unit bay. 1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii and "Installation guidelines" on page 21. 2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your finger into the depression at the top of the filler panel and pulling it away from the expansion unit. 3. Install the SCSI hot-swap hard disk drive: a. Make sure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the hard disk drive). b. Align the hard disk drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay. c. Gently push the hard disk drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops. d. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position. e. Check the hard disk drive LEDs to make sure that the hard disk drive is operating correctly. v If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a hard disk drive is lit continuously, that hard disk drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. v If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the hard disk drive is being accessed. See the documentation that comes with the expansion unit for information about configuring the expansion unit and SCSI hard disk drives. Replacing a SCSI hot-swap hard disk drive If a hard disk drive in the storage expansion unit fails, you can replace it without turning off the blade server. Complete the following steps to replace a SCSI hot-swap hard disk drive in a storage expansion unit hot-swap bay. Chapter 3. Installing options 41
