ensure that the SCSI host adapter is configured correctly to support drive removal and insertion.

CAUTION: Removing and installing SCSI hard- disk drives with the system running is not supported for systems without a PowerEdge Expand- able RAID Controller host adapter card. Removing a drive in this situation will result in a loss of data.

SCSI Hard-Disk Drive Indicator Patterns

The three light-emitting diode (LED) indicators adjacent to each of the six SCSI hard-disk drive bays provide information on the status of the SCSI hard-disk drives. The SCSI backplane firmware controls the drive online and drive fault indicators, whereas the drive access indi- cator is usually controlled by the drive itself.

See the “SCSI Hard-Disk Drive Indicator Codes” section in Chapter 3 and see Table 3-3 for more information.

Removing a SCSI Hard-Disk Drive With the

System Running

Remove a SCSI hard-disk drive as follows:

1.Wait until the drive status indicators adjacent to the drive bay signal that the drive can be removed safely.

If the drive has been online, the three drive indica- tors will flash sequentially as the drive is powered down. When all three indicators are turned off, the drive is ready for removal.

2.Remove the hard-disk drive.

Follow the instructions in “Removing a SCSI Hard- Disk Drive,” earlier in this section.

Inserting a SCSI Hard-Disk Drive With the System Running

Insert a SCSI hard-disk drive as follows:

1.Remove the drive or empty carrier from the drive bay as described in the preceding subsection, “Removing a SCSI Hard-Disk Drive With the System Running.”

2.Insert the new drive carrier into the bay.

Follow the instructions in “Installing a SCSI Hard- Disk Drive” earlier in this section.

The drive online indicator turns on.

Installing a PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller Host Adapter Card

Use the following procedure to install the PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller host adapter card:

1.Unpack the PowerEdge Expandable RAID Con- troller host adapter card, and prepare it for installation.

Refer to the documentation accompanying the host adapter card.

2.Remove the left computer cover.

See “Removing the Computer Covers” in Chapter 7.

CAUTION: See “Protecting Against Electro- static Discharge” in the safety instructions at the front of this guide.

3.Install the PowerEdge Expandable RAID Con- troller host adapter card in one of the peripheral component interconnect (PCI) expansion slots.

See “Installing an Expansion Card” in Chapter 8.

4.Disconnect the SCSI cable from the system board connector labeled “SCSI A” and connect the cable to the PowerEdge Expandable RAID Con- troller host adapter card (see Figure 10-3).

To identify the correct connector on the host adapter card, refer to documentation for the PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller host adapter card.

If you will be attaching external SCSI devices using the external SCSI connection slots on the computer’s back panel, continue with steps 5 through 10.

If you will not be attaching an external SCSI device in this manner, replace the computer cover,
