v The hot-swap bays connect to a SCSI backplane . This
backplane is the printed circuit board behind the bay.
v
The backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the hot swap
drives.
Non-hot-swap drives
Diskette drives, tape drives, and CD-ROM drives are
non-hot-swap drives. To remove or install a non-hot swap
drive, you must turn off the server first. Non-hot-swap
drives are installed in bays A, B, C, and D only.
v
Your server comes with a preinstalled 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB
diskette drive in bay D and a preinstalled IDE CD-ROM
drive in bay C.
v The Netfinity 5100 server supports only one diskette
drive.
v
The diskette drive uses 1 MB and 2 MB diskettes. For
optimum use, format 1 MB diskettes to 720 KB and
format 2 MB diskettes to 1.44 MB.
v Bays A and B come without a device installed. These
bays are for 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media
drives, such as tape backup drives. You can combine
bays A and B into a single full-high bay.
v If you are installing a device with a 50-pin connector in
one of the empty non-hot-swap bays (bays A–B), you
need a 68-pin to 50-pin converter. To order the
converter, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing
representative.
Note: The server’s EMI integrity and cooling are both
protected by having bays A and B 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.
Preinstallation steps (all bays)
Before you install drives in your 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.
1. Read “Safety information” on page 192, “Handling static
sensitive devices” on page 63, and the documentation
that comes with your drive.
2. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive.
3. Check the instructions that come with the drive to see
if you need to set any switches or jumpers on the
drive.
