SCSI Drive Installation

1. Mounting a SCSI drive in a drive carrier:
The SCSI drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for
the SCSI drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without SCSI
drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new SCSI drive, install
a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side toward the carrier so
that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to
the carrier with four screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.
Figure 6-4. Mounting a SCSI Drive in a Carrier
Use caution when working around the SCSI backplane. Do
not touch the backplane with any metal objects and make
!
sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the
holes, which aid in proper airflow.
Important: Regardless of how many SCSI hard drives are
installed, all SCSI drive carriers must remain in the drive
!
bays for proper airflow.
