3. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Make sure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the front of
the drive).
b. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
c. Gently push the 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 status LED 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 individual drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the
green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed.
4. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation” on page 58.
Note: If the server has a RAID controller or adapter installed, you might need
to reconfigure the disk arrays after installing hard disk drives. See the
documentation that comes with the adapter for more information.
