Statement 3
5. Touch the static-protective bag containing the drive to any unpainted metal
surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the bag and place it on a static-
protective surface.
6. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation that
comes with the drive.
7. Install rails on the drive.
• If you are installing a standard-size drive:
a. Pull the blue slide rails off the back of the filler panel.
b. Clip the rails onto the sides of the drive.
• If you are installing a digital linear tape (DLT) backup drive, the slide rails
and screws are included in the optional power supply backplane kit (an
additional power supply is needed to support the DLT).
8. Align the rails on the drive with the guide rails in the drive bay.
9. Push the drive into the bay until it clicks into place.
10. If the drive is an IDE device:
• Make sure the drive is not a hard disk drive.
• Plug a connector on the IDE cable into the back of the drive.
• Make sure the other end of the IDE cable is plugged into the IDE connector
on the system board.
• Go to step 12..
11. If the drive is a SCSI device:
a. Make sure the drive is not a hard disk drive.
b. Obtain a 16-bit SCSI cable to connect the device to the connector for SCSI
channel B on the system board, or to an optional SCSI adapter. A suitable
cable usually comes with your SCSI device.
c. Connect one of the connectors on the SCSI cable to the back of the drive.
d. Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI channel B connector on
the system board, or to an optional SCSI adapter, as appropriate. See "System
board internal cable connectors" on page 14 for the location of the SCSI
connectors. See also "SCSI ports" on page 59 for information about SCSI
connections and devices.
12. Connect a power cable to the back of the drive. Power cables for non-hot-swap
drives come installed in your server. The connectors are keyed and can be
inserted only one way.
13. If you are installing another non-hot-swap drive, do so at this time. Otherwise,
continue with the next step.
14. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, replace the
cover (see "Installing the cover" on page 49 for details).
