4. Remove the drive-mounting rails from the drive (see Figure 4-7).

Figure 4-7. Drive-Mounting Rails Removal

5. If the drive is a SCSI drive, record the setting of the SCSI address

jumpers and SCSI bus termination jumper.

Some drives use an adapter between the SCSI cable and the drive connector.
Check the back of the old drive for an adapter. If present, remove the
adapter and retain it for use on the new drive.

When reinstalling a SCSI drive, set the SCSI address jumpers and the SCSI bus
termination jumpers to the settings you recorded.
