To troubleshoot the hard-disk drive, perform the following steps:

1.Are both hard-disk drive indicator lights off?

Yes. See the Dell OpenManage Array Manager User's Guide for the proper safe- guards for protecting your data before proceeding any further, then perform the following steps:

a.Verify that the slot is occupied by a hard-disk drive, not a blank. A blank has no LEDs. If this resolves the problem, end troubleshooting.

b.Verify that the hard-disk drive is seated properly. If this resolves the problem, end troubleshooting.
