Complete drive replacement (12-drive, 24-drive or 60–drive)

You complete the drive replacement to confirm that the new drive is working correctly.

  1. Check the Power LED and the Attention LED on the drive you replaced. (When you first insert a drive, its Attention LED might be on. However, the LED should go off within a minute.)
    • Power LED is on or blinking, and the Attention LED is off: Indicates that the new drive is working correctly.
    • Power LED is off: Indicates that the drive might not be installed correctly. Remove the drive, wait 30 seconds, and then reinstall it.
    • Attention LED is on: Indicates that the new drive might be defective. Replace it with another new drive.
  2. If the Recovery Guru in ThinkSystem System Manager still shows an issue, select Recheck to ensure the problem has been resolved.
