2-8 Installing Your Tower
Adding an Non-HP CD-ROM Drive
SCSI-2 compatible CD-ROM drives can be installed into the
towers. You need to add side rails to the drive to fit it into the
tower bays, using HP C2998A Mounting Hardware for Non-HP
Drives. The mounting hardware includes four M3 x 0.5" screws
and four standard screws. The hardware is compatible with
HP J3276A, J3277A, and J3278A server/towers and the 7-bay
HP C2988A CD-ROM tower.
IDE and EIDE CD-ROM drives are not supported.
Installation Steps
The drive
is shown
inverted, for
rail installa-
tion.
1. Make sure that the towers are powered off.
2. Unpack the mounting hardware.
3. Check to see that your CD-ROM drive is SCSI-2 compatible.
4. Set the SCSI ID jumpers on your CD-ROM drive. (Refer to the
device's installation manual. Some SCSI drives may contain
special termination instructions.)
Set the SCSI ID (using jumpers) to the number etched in the
metal at the side of each bay (inside the tower's front cover),
or choose the bay etched with the number matching the ID.
5. You have received two sets of four screws. You must identify
which set fits with the lowest holes on each side of the drive.
Use only the lowest holes to attach the mounting hardware.
6. Position the mounting hardware along the drive as shown in
the illustration above. Align the holes and insert the four
screws. The power cord and SCSI ribbon cable should be
located toward the bottom of the drive.
