EMC shield Hard disk drive Drive tray Drive tray handle (in open position) c. Gently slide the drive assembly into the drive bay until the drive stops. d. Push the drive tray handle to the closed (locked) position. e. Check the hard disk drive status indicator to make sure that the hard disk drive is operating correctly. (You might have to restart the server before the drive is recognized.) If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, it indicates that the drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is flashing slowly, this indicates that the drive is being rebuilt. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is flashing rapidly, this indicates that the controller is identifying the drive. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, it indicates that the drive is in use. Note: If the server is configured for RAID operation using an optional ServeRAID adapter, you might have 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. 8. If you are installing additional hot-swap hard disk drives, do so now. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise go to "Completing the installation" on page 68. IDs for hot-swap hard disk drives Hot-swap server models have drive bays that are connected to a SAS/SATA backplane. This backplane, also known as the hot-swap-drive backplane, is the printed circuit board behind these bays. The hot-swap-drive backplane controls the IDs for the internal hot-swap drive bays. The following table lists the IDs for the hard disk drives and backplane that are connected to hot-swap models.
