4. Connect a DC power cable and the diskette inter-
face cable to the back of the drive (see Figure 8-1).
If other installed drives are in the way, temporarily
move them out of the way. Press in on the plastic
drive rails at the front of the bay to disengage a
drive; then slide the drive toward the front of the
chassis (see Figure 8-7).
Refer to Figure 8-6 to determine which DC power
cable connector to use, depending on the type of drive.
Plug the DC power cable into the 4-pin power input
connector on the back of the drive.
Press the interface cable connector firmly onto the
drive’s connector. Be sure that the interface cable is
routed through the slot in the upper chassis rail to
prevent interference with other devices.
If you moved other drives at the beginning of this
step, snap them back into place.
5. Check all cable connections that may have been
loosened during this procedure. Arrange cables
so they will not catch on the computer cover or
block the airflow of the fans or cooling vents.
6. If a front-panel insert on the front bezel blocks
the bay in which you installed the drive, remove
the insert (see “Removing and Replacing Front-
Panel Inserts” found earlier in this chapter).
7. Replace the computer cover and front bezel
according to the instructions in “Replacing the
Computer Cover” and “Replacing the Front
Bezel” in Chapter 6.
8. Reconnect your computer and peripherals to
their power sources, and turn them on.
9. Update your system configuration information.
Enter the System Setup program, and if you installed
a diskette drive, update the Diskette Drive A category
to reflect the size and capacity of your new diskette
drive.
10. Verify correct operation of your system.
See Chapter 2, “Using the Dell Server Assistant
CD,” for information on running the diagnostics
from the Dell Server Assistant CD. See the chapter
titled “Running the Diskette-Based Diagnostics” in
your Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for infor-
mation on running the diagnostics. Test the drive by
running all the subtests in the Diskette Drives Test
Group of the diskette-based diagnostics.
Installing SCSI Drives in the External
Bays
1. Prepare the drive for installation.
Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal sur-
face on the back of the computer, unpack the drive, and
compare the jumper and switch settings with those in
the drive documentation. (See “SCSI Configuration
Guidelines” in Chapter 9 for information on setting the
drive’s SCSI identification [ID] number and enabling
termination, if required). Change any settings neces-
sary for your system’s configuration.
If the drive does not already have drive rails attached,
attach a drive rail to each side of the drive. Orient the
drive rails as shown in Figure 8-9. Secure each drive
rail to the drive with a screw in the first and third slotted
screw holes on the drive rail as shown in Figure 8-9.
2. Remove the computer cover and front bezel
according to the instructions in “Removing the
Computer Cover” and “Removing the Front
Bezel” in Chapter 6.
3. Slide the new drive into its bay until it snaps
securely into place.
If necessary, you can adjust drive alignment by repo-
sitioning one or both rails.
4. Connect a DC power cable and one of the connec-
tors on the SCSI interface cable to the back of the
drive (see Figure 8-1).
Refer to Figure 8-6 to determine which DC power
cable connector to use, depending on the type of drive.
CAUTION: Check the cable orientation—
match the colored strip to the pin-1 end of the
connector.
CAUTION: See “Protecting Against Electro-
static Discharge” in the safety instructions at
the front of this guide.
