Lenovo RD120 manual inchdrives

2.5-inch drives

To install a drive in a hot-swap bay, complete the following steps.

Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.

1.Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 29.

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

v3.5-inch models: Insert your finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pull it away from the server.

v2.5-inch models: Grasp both sides of the front of the filler panel and pull it away from the server.

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 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 verify 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.

Note: You might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after you install hard disk drives. See the RAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for information about these RAID controllers.

If you have other optional devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to “Completing the installation” on page 74.
