5.3.4 Installing Devices in the Media Bays
This procedure describes how to install a hard disk drive,, tape drive, or CD-ROM drive in an empty media bay.
1. Attention: Follow all ESD-sensitive parts procedures while performing this procedure (for ESD information, see "Handling
Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive Parts" in topic 5.1):
2. Determine which device you are installing in the media bay.
3. Attention: A new device might need time to acclimate to its new environment:
When you install a device into an operating environment from an environment whose temperature is outside the specified operating
range (see "Operating Environment" in topic 1.2), do not use that drive for at least 3 hours.
This delay allows the device to acclimate to the operating environment.
4. Remove the device from any shipping packaging, but leave it in its sealed plastic bag (if present) to prevent condensation forming.
5. After 3 hours, remove the device from the antistatic bag.
6. Set the internal address of the device you are installing; see "Setting Addresses and Connecting SCSI Cables" in topic 5.2.
7. Open the front cover, following instructions in "Opening the 7131 Storage Tower" in topic 5.3.1. Continue with step 8 for hard disk
drives and step 9 for all tape and CD-ROM drives.
8. If the new hard disk drive is not already installed on an adapter bracket, put it on an adapter bracket:
a. Install and tighten the 4 screws on the sides of the adapter bracket to mount the hard disk drive (Figure 5-21).
Figure 5-21. Hard Disk Drive Adapter Bracket
b. Slide the hard disk drive on the bracket into the media bay, then continue with step 10.
9. Slide the tape or CD-ROM drive into the media bay.
10. Connect the SCSI cable and the power connector to the hard disk drive and the CD-ROM and tape drives (Figure 5-22).
