It is important that your cabling and connections meet the SCSI bus specification.
Otherwise, the bus could be unreliable and data corruption could occur or devices might
not work at all. The SCSI bus needs to be terminated at the end of the cable; this is usually
provided by the last SCSI device on the cable.
Use the following steps when installing a 5.25-inch peripheral:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.
2. Open the front bezel by rotating its right side out and to the left.
Caution: To avoid damage to a 5.25-inch peripheral device, ensure the EMI
gasketing provided in the lower bay does not bridge or short any open circuits of the
exposed peripheral device. If the 5.25-inch device has open circuits, install it in one
of the two upper bays.
3. Put a finger in the hole and pull the EMI metal shield out to disengage it from the
chassis, see Figure 1-7. Save the shield.
4. Remove the drive from its protective wrapper, and place it on an antistatic surface.
5. Record the drive model and serial numbers in your equipment log.
6. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the drive manufacturer's
instructions.
7. Using two screws of the appropriate size and length (not supplied), attach each
plastic slide rail with its metal grounding plate to the drive, see Figure 1-8.
