Toinstall a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps:

1. Read “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 38.

2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays.

Note: When you install a drive in bays 4 through 7, you must first install a

hard disk drive backplane.

3. Touchthe static-protective package that contains the hard disk drive to any

unpainted surface on the outside of the server; then, remove the hard disk

drive from the package.

4. Make sure that the drive handle is open; then, install the hard disk drive into

the hot-swap bay.

5. (IBM Business Partners only) Restart the server. Confirm that it starts correctly

and recognizes the newly installed devices, and make sure that no error LEDs

are lit.

6. (IBM Business Partners only) Complete the additional steps in “Instructions for

IBM Business Partners” on page 29.

Note: Check the hard disk drive status LEDs 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 drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the green hard disk

drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed.
