Installing a 5.25-inch Peripheral Drive
To install a peripheral drive:
1. Turn off power to the server and unplug the AC power cords from the power source.
2. Remove the bezel and the front access cover (pages 30 and 32).
3. Remove the fan assembly (page 81).
4. If the drive bay is covered by a metal EMI shield, insert your finger in the large hole in one end
of the shield and pull the shield from the chassis. Save the shield.
5. If the drive bay has an existing drive installed, remove the drive (page 77) and remove the slide
rails attached to the sides of the drive. Save the rails and screws.
6. Remove the new drive from its protective wrapper and place it on an antistatic surface.
7. Record the new drive model and serial numbers in your equipment log.
8. Set any jumpers or switches on the new drive according to the drive manufacturer's instructions.
9. Attach a slide rail to each side of the drive using two mounting screws.
10. Position the drive so the plastic slide rails engage the guide rails in the peripheral bay. Push the
drive into the bay until the slide rails lock in place.
11. Connect the signal and power cables to the drive. You can insert the keyed connectors only one
way.
12. Install the fan assembly, the front access cover, and the bezel.
