6. Check the hot-swap hard-disk-drive status LEDs to ensure that the hard disk drive is operating correctly.

You might have to restart the server for the newly installed hard disk drive to be recognized. See
“Hot-swap hard-disk-drive status LEDs” on page 30. If the hard disk drive is faulty, you need to reinstall
or replace it until it is operating correctly.

7. Do one of the following:

• If you are installing a hot-swap hard disk drive, save the removed dummy hard-disk-drive tray in case

you later remove the hot-swap hard disk drive and need a dummy tray to cover the drive bay.

• If you are replacing a failing hot-swap hard disk drive and are instructed to return the failing hot-swap

hard disk drive, follow all packaging instructions and use any packaging materials that are supplied to
you for shipping.

What to do next:
