1. Remove the replacement drive from its antistatic shipping bag.
2. Release the handle latch near the rear of the drive and lift the handle to the
vertical position.
3. Grasp the drive bracket handle with one hand; with your other hand, hold the
drive steady. Maintain the drive in a horizontal position and lower it into the
chassis.

SCSI backplane.
You may need to adjust the drive assembly. Make sure the drive is properly

Note -
latched position, connecting the drive to the SCSI backplane, remove the drive
and try again.
When lowered, the drive bracket handle acts as a mechanism to engage the drive
and the SCSI backplane connector. The position of the drive in the chassis
determines its SCSI address. The lower disk drive is automatically assigned SCSI
address 3, while the upper drive (if present) is automatically assigned SCSI
address 1.
Note -
use by an external peripheral on the SCSI bus. However, if a drive is installed
later in the upper bay, its automatic address will conflict with that of the external
peripheral.
