Installing A Full-Height Fld - Silicon Graphics POWER CHALLENGE User Manual

Installing a Full-Height FLD

Each drive must be properly mounted on a drive sled and configured for a
particular channel and SCSI transmission protocol (single-ended or
differential). Refer to Figure 4-3 for the mounting position of the drive on a
sled.
Follow these instructions to install a full-height front loading device:
1. Carefully remove the plastic side panel by first grasping the bottom
edge of the panel. See Figure 4-5.
2. Pull the panel away from the chassis until the ball and socket fasteners
release.
3. Carefully set the panel aside.
4. Identify the retaining screw that holds the drive shelf directly above the
chosen drive bay, then remove it with a Phillips screwdriver.
5. Pull the drive shelf straight out of the chassis. See Figure 4-6.
The design of the deskside drive housing precludes placing an
Note:
optional DLT drive on the third drive shelf down from the top, or the
bottom drive shelf. See Figure 4-7 and keep this in mind when preparing
for the installation.
After removing the drive shelf, the plastic side panel can be replaced by
aligning the ball connectors with the sockets in the chassis and
reversing steps 1 and 2.
6. Orient the FLD and sled assembly so that the connectors on the back are
on the bottom half of the drive and face away from you.
7. Carefully insert the device into the drive bay until it seats firmly into
the lever catch and the lever will not move any farther to the right. See
Figure 4-6.
