Installing a Drive in a Front-Access Shelf

These instructions explain how to install a drive (such as a disk drive, a
CD-ROM drive, or a tape drive) in one of the front-access drive shelves.
You should also refer to the manual supplied with the drive for any
additional installation instructions.
Refer to the drive's installation guide to see if you must set jumpers or if
there is a special installation procedure to follow.
If you are installing a SCSI device (for example, a tape drive) you must
select a SCSI address for it. SCSI addresses range from 0 to 7, with SCSI
addresses 0 and 1 usually used by the SCSI hard disk drives. SCSI
address 7 is reserved for the integrated SCSI controller.
You don't need to select a SCSI address for Plug and Play SCSI devices
(SCSI devices which support the SCAM protocol).
You should assign an unused SCSI address to the new SCSI device (for
example, SCSI address 2).
The SCSI address is usually configured with jumpers on the SCSI
device. Refer to the installation guide supplied with the device for
information on selecting a SCSI address. Note that the device may be
preconfigured for SCSI address 2 or 3 by default.
Some SCSI devices may have termination resistors that must be
removed or disabled before installation in your computer. Refer to the
device's installation guide for more details and to see if there is a
special installation procedure to follow.
Drives ordered from HP are supplied with mounting rails. If you order
your drive from another supplier, you may need to order drive mounting
rails from HP.
You should order product number D2880A for 5.25-inch disk drive rails
or product number D3566A for 3.5-inch disk drive rails.
