8. Rotate the drive tray handle to the closed position.
9. Check the hard disk drive status indicator to make sure that the hard disk
drive is operating correctly.
After you replace a failed hard disk drive, the green activity LED flashes as
the disk spins up. The yellow LED turns off after approximately 1 minute. If
the new drive starts to rebuild, the yellow LED flashes slowly, and the green
activity LED remains lit during the rebuild process. If the yellow LED remains
lit, seeChapter 4, "Troubleshooting," on page 139 for more information.
Note: You might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after you install hard
disk drives. See the RAID documentation on the IBM website at
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/ for information about RAID
adapters.
10. Close the bezel.
11. Lock the left-side cover.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to

Installing a 3.5-inch simple-swap hard disk drive
Before installing a 3.5-inch simple-swap hard disk drive, read the following
information:
v Inspect the drive tray for signs of damage.
v 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 drive bay.
v You have to turn off the server to install simple-swap drives in the simple-swap
drive bays.
To install a 3.5-inch simple-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps.
1. Read the safety information that begins "Safety" on page vii and "Installation
guidelines" on page 36
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components
when the server is powered-on might cause the server to halt, which might
result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an
electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work
inside the server with the power on.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables.
3. Unlock the left-side cover.
Note: You must unlock the left-side cover to open or remove the bezel. When
you lock the left-side cover, it locks both the cover and the bezel.
4. Open the bezel (see "Removing the bezel" on page 331).
5. Remove the filler panel, if one is present.
6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the disk drive to any
unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the disk drive from the
package.
7. Grasp the black drive handle and slide the blue release latch to the right and
align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
