6. Touch the static-protective package containing the drive to any unpainted metal
surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place it on
a static-protective surface.
7. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation that
comes with the drive.
Note: You might find it easier to install the new drive into the appropriate
opening on the front, and then attach the cables.
8. If you are installing a 5.25-in. drive in bay 2, push the drive into the bay; then,
use the two screws to attach the drive to the drive cage. If you are installing a
3.5-in. drive in bay 2, you must attach the 5.25-in. conversion kit, supplied with
the option, to the 3.5-in. drive.
9. Determine whether the drive is an IDE or SCSI device; then, connect one end
of the appropriate signal cable into the back of the drive and make sure that
the other end of this cable is connected into the appropriate IDE or SCSI
connector on the system board.
v
If you are installing a SCSI removable-media drive, use the one-drop SCSI
cable that comes with the drive and connect it to SCSI channel B (SCSI2).
See “Power and signal cables for internal drives” on page 25 for additional
information about cabling drives and “System-board internal connectors” on
page 7 for the location of IDE and SCSI connectors on the system board.
v If there are open connectors on the cables connecting an existing IDE drive,
this cable can be used to connect the new drive. The 4-connector SCSI
cable that comes with non-hot-swap model servers cannot be used to
connect a SCSI drive in bay 2.
10. Route the signal cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of the
drives or over the microprocessor and memory.
