Chapter 7, Installing Internal Drives
Since the internal drive bays are designed to accommodate 5.25 inch drives, if you are
installing a 3.5 inch drive in a 5.25 inch drive bay other than the bottom one, you will need
to mount it in a 3.5 to 5.25 inch adapter, and then install a rail on the right adapter. The end
of the rail with the ßexible tab goes toward the front. 3.5 to 5.25 inch adapters are available
at most computer parts stores. See ÒPrepare the driveÓ on page 100 for more information
about drive adapters and rails.

Set the SCSI ID
Following the instructions which came with your device, set its SCSI ID.
Each device in a SCSI chain requires a unique number called a SCSI ID, which the
computer uses to identify the device. The computer itself is assigned SCSI ID 7 and the
primary internal hard disk is assigned SCSI ID 0. Every other device you install must
have a unique number from 1 to 6.
Drives provided by Power normally come with SCSI ID pre-set as follows:
