Preinstallation steps (all bays)
Before you install drives in your computer, verify that you have all the cables and
other equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the drive. You
might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities. Some of the steps are
required only during the initial installation of an option.
1. Read "Safety information" on page 113, "Handling electrostatic
discharge-sensitive devices" on page 116, and the documentation that comes
with your drive.
2. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive.
3. Check the instructions that come with the drive to see if you need to set any
switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SCSI device, be sure to
set the SCSI ID for that device.
Installing a drive in bay 2 or 4
Complete the following steps to install a drive in bay 2 or 4.
Attention: When you handle ESD-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity, see "Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive
devices" on page 116.
1. Review the safety precautions listed in "Safety information" on page 113 and
read the information in "Preinstallation steps (all bays)".
2. Remove any media (diskettes, CDs, or tapes) from the drives and shut down
your operating system.
3. Turn off the computer and attached devices and disconnect all external cables
and power cords; then, remove the side cover. See "Removing the side cover"
on page 48 for details.
4. Use a screwdriver to pry the filler panel and EMC shield away from the
computer.
Note: If you are installing a drive that is a laser product, observe the
following safety precaution:
Statement 3
CAUTION:
When laser products (such as CD-ROMs, DVD drives, fiber optic devices, or transmitters)
are installed, note the following:
v Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product could result in
exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the device.
v Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
