Installing A 5.25-Inch Peripheral In The Front Bay - Intergraph InterServe 9000 System Reference Manual

Installing a 5.25-inch Peripheral in the Front Bay

Three 5.25-inch half-height bays provide space for tape backup, CD-ROM, or other removable
media drives.
CAUTIONS
Only single-ended SCSI devices supported: The internal SCSI interface
in the InterServe 9000 supports only single-ended SCSI devices on the
narrow SCSI channel. Connecting differential SCSI drive types to this
interface can result in electrical damage to the baseboard and peripherals.
Do not install hard drives in 5.25-inch bays: You should NOT install
hard drives in the 5.25-inch bays. The drives cannot be properly cooled in
this location. A hard drive generates EMI and is therefore more susceptible
to ESD in this location.
NOTES
Save the filler panels and EMI shields: System EMI integrity and cooling
are both protected by having drives installed in the bays or filler panels and
EMI shields covering the bays. When you install a drive, save the panel and
shield to reinstall in case you should later remove the drive and not reinstall
one in the same bay.
Bus termination when installing SCSI devices: It is important that your
cabling and connections meet the SCSI bus specification. Otherwise, the bus
could be unreliable and data corruption could occur or devices might not
work at all. The SCSI bus needs to be terminated at the end of the cable;
this is usually provided by the last SCSI device on the cable. For more
information on connecting the cable to a signal drive, see step 10 on page 94.
