Installing in the rear drive bay
The rear drive bay has a cooling fan for the processors mounted on
the rear. This has a power connection to the motherboard.
1.
Turn off the computer and unplug all power cords.
2.
Take suitable anti-static precautions and remove the system
side panel.
3.
If the rear drive bay already contains a SCSI drive, unplug the
SCSI ribbon (signal) cable and power cable from that drive.
4.
Remove the five screws that secure the rear drive bay to the
chassis and take the bay out of the system unit.
WARNING
The drive bay has a processor cooling fan mounted at the back which is
connected to the motherboard (J3F2). This must be reconnected when
you refit the drive bay.
5.
Mount the new drive within the bay using the special screws
provided with the drive.
6.
Return the rear drive bay to the system unit, reconnecting the
fan power connector to the motherboard (J3F2) and secure it
in place using the screws you removed at Step 4.
7.
Attach SCSI ribbon cables and spare power cables to the drives
(it does not matter greatly which of the available power cables
you choose).
◊ Remember to check 'Termination rules' on the first page of
this chapter along with the drive jumper settings on page 3
of this chapter.
8.
Check to ensure that no other cables or connections have
become dislodged or trapped during the work, then refit the
system unit panel.
