f. Skip to step 5.
4. Installing a 2.5-inch hot-swap drive:
a. Remove the filler panel from the empty drive bay.
b. Make sure that the drive-tray handle is in the open (unlocked) position.
c. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
d. Gently push the drive assembly into the drive bay until the drive stops.
e. Rotate the drive-tray handle to the closed (locked) position.
5. Check the drive status LED to verify that the drive is operating correctly. If the
yellow drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, that drive is faulty and
must be replaced. If the green drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being
accessed.
Note: If the server is configured for RAID operation using a ServeRAID
adapter, you might have to reconfigure your disk arrays after you install drives.
See the ServeRAID adapter documentation for additional information about
RAID operation and complete instructions for using the ServeRAID adapter.
6. If you are installing additional hot-swap drives, do so now.
7. Restart the server. Confirm that it starts correctly and recognizes the newly
installed devices, and make sure that no error LEDs are lit.
8. Complete the additional steps in "Instructions for IBM Business Partners" on
page 24.

see Supported SAS/SATA drive backplane configurations.
IDs for hot-swap drives:
The hot-swap-drive ID that is assigned to each drive is printed on the front of the
server. The following illustrations show the location of the IDs of the drives. The
ID numbers and the drive bay numbers are the same.
The following illustration shows the drive bay IDs on a 3.5-inch drive server
model.
