Installing a SCSI hard disk drive in the model 8654
Complete the following steps to install a SCSI hard disk drive in the model 8654:
1. Review the information in "Safety" on page vii.
2. Turn off the appliance server and disconnect all external cables and power cords.
3. Remove the filler panel from the available hard disk drive bay.
Note: You might need to remove the clear plastic shield to reach some parts in
the appliance server. For proper cooling and airflow, replace the clear
plastic shield before replacing the cover.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on
the appliance server. Operating the appliance server for extended periods of time
(over 30 minutes) with the cover removed might damage appliance server
components.
Inspect the drive or drive tray for any signs of damage.
To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the appliance server for more
than 2 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.
Review the information in "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 50.
Check the instructions that come with the drive for more information about
