Preinstallation steps (all bays):
Before you
install drives in the server, verify that you have all the
cables and any other equipment specified in the
documentation that comes with the internal drive. You
might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities.
Some of the steps are required only during the initial
installation of an option.
Before you begin:
Ÿ
Read “Safety information” on page 308.
Ÿ
Read the documentation that comes with the
internal drive.
1. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive.
2. Check the instructions that come with the drive to see
if you need to set any switches or jumpers on the
drive.
3. To install the drive, go to “Installing a 5.25-inch
removable-media drive” or “Installing a drive in a
hot-swap bay” on page 203.
Installing a 5.25-inch removable-media drive

Read “Safety information” on page 308.
Ÿ
Read the documentation that comes with the
drive.
Ÿ
Prepare the drive for installation (see
“Preinstallation steps (all bays)”).
Note
The server's EMI integrity and cooling are both
protected by having the left front bays covered or
occupied. When you install a drive, save the filler
panel from the bay, in case you later remove the drive
and do not replace it with another.
Refer to the following illustrations while you perform the
steps in this procedure.
