Preinstallation steps (all bays)

Before you install drives in the server, verify that you have
all the cables and other equipment specified in the
documentation that comes with the drive. You might also
need to perform certain preinstallation activities. Some of
the steps are required only during the initial installation of
an option.
1. Read "Safety information" on page 125 and the
documentation that comes with your drive.
2. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive.
3. Check the instructions that come with the drive to see
if you need to set any switches or jumpers on the
drive. If you are installing a SCSI device, be sure to set
the SCSI ID for that device.
