Installing a hot-plug hard drive
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless
all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
1. Prepare the hard drive.
2. Install the hard drive into the server. Be sure that the hard drive seats firmly into the connector
in the back of the drive cage.
3. Close the ejector lever.
4. Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs, see “SAS and
SATA hard drive LEDs” (page 12) and “SAS and SATA hard drive LED combinations”
(page 12).
