Removing the hard disk units
After removing the hard disk cover, remove all the hard disk units from their 3.5-inch storage
bays.
Note that the hard disks must be reinstalled after the rack conversion is complete.
This section describes how to remove the hard disk units from their bays.
Notes:
Note that when converting the server from a deskside to a rackmount, the bay orientation is
different. The following diagram shows the bay numbers and SCSI IDs before and after con-
version.
Make sure to write down the bay numbers and SCSI IDs for each hard disk so they can be
replaced to their proper loca-
tions.
[Deskside model's front]
Bay 3 : ID=6 (*)
Bay 2 : ID=5 (*)
Bay 1 : CD-ROM
FDD
Bay 4 : ID=3
Bay 3 : ID=2
Bay 2 : ID=1
Bay 1 : ID=0
Before moving the server, remove all hard disk units. Striking or
hitting a hard disk unit can corrupt its data.
Bay 4 : ID=3
Bay 3 : ID=2
Bay 2 : ID=1
Bay 1 : ID=0
DVD-ROM
*) Set the SCSI ID to 5 when using the DDS4 DAT unit (PG-DTA102).
