e. Check the hard disk drive status indicator to make sure that the hard disk
drive is operating correctly. (You might have to restart the server before the
drive is recognized.) If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is
lit continuously, it indicates that the drive is faulty and must be replaced. If
the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, it indicates that the drive
is being accessed.
Note: If the server is configured for RAID operation using an optional
ServeRAID adapter, you might have to reconfigure your disk arrays
after you install hard disk drives. See the adapter documentation on
the IBM
®
ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about
RAID operation for your adapter.

IDs for hot-swap hard disk drives
On some models, the hot-swap-drive backplane controls the IDs of the internal
hot-swap drive bays. The following table lists the IDs of the hard disk drives and
backplane that are connected to one channel in the hot-swap models. In the typical
configuration, the standard hard disk drives and backplane are connected to
channel A. This table applies only to server models that support four hot-swap
hard disk drives.
