Preinstallation steps
Some of these steps are required only the first time you install a hard disk drive in a
specific bay.
1. Review the safety information beginning on page v, "Installation guidelines" on
page 15, and the documentation that comes with your drive.
2. Verify that you have all the cables and other equipment specified in the
documentation that comes with the drive.
3. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive.
4. 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.

4. Remove the support bracket (see "Removing and installing the support
bracket" on page 18).
