   4. Verify that the disk drive or solid-state drive that you installed is shown on this display.
2. If you have an ESLL or ESLS storage enclosure, verify that the power LED is ON (green) on the front of the enclosure for the replaced drive.
   Note: If you have a 5147-024 storage enclosure, you cannot use the power LED to verify the drive.
3. To configure the newly installed disk drive or solid-state drive, see Configuring a disk drive or solid-state drive for use in an Linux system or Linux logical partition.
4. To rebuild data on the newly installed or replaced disk drive or solid-state drive, see Rebuilding data on a replacement disk drive or solid-state drive in a system or logical partition that is running the Linux operating system.
