IBM 84875MU, User Manual

Page: 42 / 160

The following notes describe the types of drives that the server supports and other
information that you must consider when installing a hard disk drive:
v Read the safety information beginning at “Safety information” on page 107,
“Installation guidelines” on page 23, and the documentation that comes with the
drive.
v
Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment specified in the
documentation that comes with the drive.
v
Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.
v 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.
v
Diskette drives, tape drives, CD-ROM, CD-RW, and DVD drives are examples of
removable-media drives. You can install removable-media drives in bays 1, 2, 3,
and 4 only.
v The integrated IDE controller in the server supports the connection of up to two
IDE devices.
v
You can install a 3.5-in. slim-high or 5.25-in. half-high removable-media drive,
such as a tape backup drive, CD-RW, or DVD drive, in bay 2.
v
The server supports only one diskette drive.
v To install a 3.5-in. drive in a 5.25-in. bay, you must use the 5.25-in. conversion
kit, available separately.
v
The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are
protected by having all bays and PCI slots covered or occupied. When you install
a drive or PCI adapter, save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay or the
PCI adapter slot cover in the event you later remove the option.
v For a complete list of supported options for the server, go to
