Chapter 9 Replacement and Installation of a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) 9-5
9.3 Installing a Hard Disk Drive
Caution – If a hard disk drive cannot be inserted smoothly, do not forcibly push the
hard disk drive into the slot. If the HDD is forcibly inserted despite the presence of
any obstruction in a slot or any problems with the connector pin, serious damage
may result.
Caution – Do not insert a hard disk drive into a slot when the eject/lock lever is
closed. If an HDD is inserted in this condition, it stops halfway and becomes difficult
to pull out.
1. Align the hard disk drive with the slot, and then push the hard disk drive in
until it stops.
2. Fasten the eject/lock lever.
9.4 Reassembling the Server
1. Configure the hard disk drive in the domain.
This procedure includes the steps of using the cfgadm command to connect the
hard disk drive to the domain, and for verifying that it has been added to the
domain. For details, see Section 4.3.3, “Configuring a FRU in a Domain” on
page 4-6.
2. Check the hardware.
This procedure includes the steps of running a program to verify that all the
components have been remounted and to start the Solaris OS.
For details, see Section 4.5.4, “Verifying the Hardware Operation” on page 4-15.
3. Verify the state of the LED indicator of the hard disk drive.
For information on the LED status, see
TABLE 2-3 to TABLE 2-5.
