Removing a Drive
✎
Compaq does not support mixing Ultra ATA and SCSI hard
drives in the same system. If you are replacing a hard drive in
bay 4 or bay 5, the replacement drive should be of the same
type as the drive being removed.
If you are replacing the Ultra ATA hard drive in your workstation with
a SCSI hard drive, you will need a SCSI device option kit and the SCSI
controller option kit. The controller option kit contains the SCSI
controller and cable that supports multiple SCSI devices.
1.
Turn off the workstation and any external devices. Disconnect the
power cord from the grounded AC outlet.
On a power-managed system, the power cord must be
disconnected from the grounded AC outlet.
2.
Remove the workstation access panel. Refer to Removing the
Workstation Access Panel in this chapter.
3.
Remove the front bezel. Refer to Removing the Front Bezel in
this chapter.
4.
Disconnect the drive power and signal cables and, if it is a
CD-ROM drive, disconnect the audio connector.
