xSeries 200 Type 8479 and xSeries 200VL Type 8481: Hardware Maintenance Manual
Diskette drives, tape drives, and CD-ROM drives are removable-media drives.
You can install removable-media drives in bays 1, 2, 3, and 4.
You can install a 3.5-in., slim-high, or a 5.25-in., half-high, removable-media
drive, such as a tape backup drive, in bay 2.
You can only install a 3.5-in., slim-high, removable-media drive in bay 4.
The xSeries 200 server supports only one diskette drive, which uses 1 MB and
2 MB diskettes.
Before you install a 3.5-in. drive in a 5.25-in. bay, you must attach the 5.25 in.
conversion kit, supplied with your option, to the 3.5-in drive. Refer to the
documentation that comes with the option for the conversion kit installation
instructions.
Note: Only 3.5-in. options that ship with proper mounting hardware can be
supported in the 5.25-in. bays.
If you have a tape backup drive in the server, use a dry process cleaning
cartridge to clean the tape head two hours after you first use a new data
cartridge. Then, clean the tape head once a month, or after each eight hours of
continuous read/write operations, whichever occurs first. For complete details
about the tape backup drive, refer to the documentation that comes with the
server or your backup option.
