To install a 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA hard disk drive, complete the following steps.
Step 1.
Unlock the left-side cover.
Note:
You must unlock the left-side cover to open or remove the bezel. When you lock the left-side
cover, it locks both the cover and the bezel.
Step 2.
Open the bezel (see “Opening the bezel media door” on page 181).
Step 3.
Remove the filler panel, if one is present.
Step 4.
Touch the static-protective package that contains the disk drive to any unpainted metal surface on
the server; then, remove the disk drive from the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
Step 5.
Make sure that the drive tray handle is in the open position.
Step 6.
Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay; then, carefully slide the drive assembly into
the drive bay until the drive snaps into place.

Step 7.
Rotate the drive tray handle to the closed position.
Step 8.
Check the hard disk drive status indicator to make sure that the hard disk drive is operating
correctly. After you replace a failed hard disk drive, the green activity LED flashes as the disk spins
up. The yellow LED turns off after approximately 1 minute. If the new drive starts to rebuild, the
yellow LED flashes slowly, and the green activity LED remains lit during the rebuild process. If the
yellow LED remains lit, see the “Hard disk drive problems” on page 149 for more information.
Note:
You might have to reconfigure the disk arrays after you install hard disk drives. See the
RAID documentation on the Lenovo website at http://www.lenovo.com/support for information
about RAID adapters.
Step 9.
Close the bezel (see “Closing the bezel media door” on page 183).
Step 10. Lock the left-side cover.
