4 Exchanging SCSI Hard Drives and Power
Supplies
SCSI Hard Disk Drives
The system supports a variety of LVD and single-ended SCSI devices. As shipped from the
supplier, the system might contain no hard disk drives. Contact your sales representative or dealer
for a list of approved SCSI devices.
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk
drives, add-in boards, and other components. This server can withstand
normal levels of environmental ESD while you are hot-swapping SCSI hard
disk drives. However, we recommend doing all procedures in this manual
only at an ESD-protected workstation. If one is not available, you can
provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to
chassis ground of the server—any unpainted metal surface—when handling
components.
Mounting a SCSI Hard Disk Drive in a Plastic Carrier
1. Remove the 3.5-inch hard drive from its wrapper and place it on an antistatic surface.
2. Record the drive model and serial number in your equipment log (page 163).
3. Orient the drive so the connector is near the top surface of the drive, then place the plastic
carrier on top of the drive.
4. Using four screws of the correct size and length (not supplied), attach the carrier to the drive.
