7 . Slide the peripheral bay toward the back of the system approximately 2.5 cm
(one inch); then lift the peripheral bay upwards and set it aside.
8. If the peripheral bay is empty, remove the rectangular plastic insert from the front
of the system chassis.
From the inside of the chassis, push outwards on the center of the plastic insert
to release the insert from the chassis.
9. If a tape drive or other drive is installed in the peripheral bay, release the drive by
pressing the front of each drive rail, and slide the drive out of the bay.
10. Slide the hard-disk drive cage into the peripheral bay until the rails snap into place
(see Figure 1-3).
11. Lower the peripheral bay back into the chassis; then slide the bay forward into
position.
Be careful to avoid trapping power or interface cables underneath the peripheral
bay when you reinstall it.
12. Secure the peripheral bay by tightening the thumbscrew at the back corner of the
cage.
13. Connect the SCSI interface cable (see Figure 1-1) to the SCSI cable connector on
the fifth-drive backplane board at the back of the hard-disk drive cage (see
