7. Touch the static-protective package containing the drive to any unpainted metal
surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place it on
a static-protective surface.
8. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation that
comes with the drive.
Note: You might find it easier to install the new drive from the front and then
attach the cables.
9. If you are installing a 3.5-in. drive in bay 2, attach the 5.25-in. conversion kit,
which you can order from IBM, to the 3.5-in. drive.
10. Remove the large drive clip from the side of the drive cage for bays 1 through
3. Slide the drive clip toward the rear of the server; then, snap the drive clip
into the screw holes on the side of the drive or conversion kit.
11. Slide the drive into the drive bay until it snaps in place.
12. Determine whether the drive is an IDE or SCSI device; then, connect one end
of the applicable signal cable into the back of the drive and make sure that the
other end of this cable is connected into the applicable IDE or SCSI connector
on the system board.
v If you are installing a SCSI removable-media drive, use the one-drop SCSI
cable that comes with the drive and connect it to SCSI channel A (SCSI1).
See "Power and signal cables for internal drives" on page 23 for additional
information about cabling drives and "System-board internal connectors" on
page 3 for the location of IDE and SCSI connectors on the system board.
v If there are open connectors on the cable connecting an existing IDE drive,
you can use this cable to connect the new drive.
13. Route the signal cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of the
drives or over the microprocessor and memory.
14. If you have another drive to install or remove, do so now.
15. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, replace
the support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support bracket" on
page 12), replace the bezel (see "Replacing the bezel" on page 41), and then
go to "Completing the installation" on page 41.
