Installing a hard disk drive in bay 4, 5, or 6
Bays 4, 5, and 6 are in the drive cage. The drive cage is behind the front of the
adapter-support bracket.
Note: When installing options, you might find it easier to work with the computer
lying on its side.
To install a drive in bay 4, 5, or 6, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page v, the guidelines in “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 34, and the documentation that comes with
your drive.
2. Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that is specified in
the documentation that comes with the drive.
3. Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.
4. Check the instructions that come with the drive to determine whether you must
set any switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SCSI device,
make sure that you set the SCSI ID for that device.
5. Turn off the computer and all attached devices (see “Turning off the computer”
on page 19); then, disconnect all power cords and external cables.
6. Remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 39).
7. Remove the support bracket (see “Removing and installing the support
bracket” on page 40).
8. Grasp the drive cage and rotate the cage out of the computer until it locks into
place with the drive-cage retention tab.
Note: You might need to disconnect the power cables from the drives before
you rotate the cage all the way.
The open ends of the drive slots and installed drives will face you. Make sure
that the drive cage locks into place over the drive-cage retention tab by
rotating the drive cage all the way out of the computer.
