Installing A Hard Disk Drive In Bay 5, 6, Or 7 - IBM IntelliStation M Pro User Manual

Note: If you are installing a drive that contains a laser, observe the following
safety precaution.
DANGER
Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view directly with optical
instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.
6. Touch the static-protective bag containing the drive to any unpainted metal
surface on the computer; then remove the drive from the bag and place it on a
static-protective surface.
7. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation that
comes with the drive.
8. You might find it easier to install the new drive into the appropriate opening
on the machine front, then attach the cables.
9. If you are installing a 5.25-in. drive in bay 2, push the drive into the bay; then
use the two screws to attach the drive to the drive cage.
10. If you are installing a 3.5-in. drive in bay 2, you must attach the 5.25-in
conversion kit, supplied with your option, to the 3.5-in. drive.
Note: You can install only a 3.5-in. device in bay 4.
11. If the drive is an IDE device, connect one end of the IDE signal cable into the
back of the drive and the other end of the cable into the IDE connector on the
system board. For the location of the IDE connectors, see "Internal cable
connectors" on page 28. If the drive is a SCSI device, connect one end of the
SCSI signal cable into the back of the drive and the other end of the cable into
the SCSI adapter.
Note: Make sure to route the SCSI signal cable so that it does not block the air
flow to the rear of the drives or over the microprocessor.
12. Connect a power cable to the back of the drive. The connectors are keyed and
can be inserted only one way.
13. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
14. Replace the support bracket.
15. Go to the appropriate section to work with another option, or replace the side
cover, see "Replacing the cover" on page 43 for details.
16. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then turn on the attached
devices and the computer.
