Installing Internal Drives
Installing a Drive in Bay B
Before you begin:
Be sure you have removed the server side cover and prepared
the drive for installation (see “Preparing to Install Options” on
page 181 and “Preinstallation Steps (All Bays)” on page 223).
The SCSI cabling that comes with your server supports a maximum
of seven internal SCSI drives (including those in bay B and bank C,
and the CD-ROM drive in bay A).
If you are installing a SCSI drive in bay B, and bank C contains six
drives, you must either install an additional SCSI cable, or remove a
drive from bank C as described in “Removing a Drive from Bank C,
D, or E” on page 264. When you remove a drive from bank C, start
with the drive in bay 6, that is, remove the drive that is at the end
of the scanning order.
You can connect the drives in bay B to bank C or bank D.
However, when you install slow devices such as tape drives in bay
B, performance of the drives in bank C or D is affected. You might
choose to connect these devices to a separate SCSI-2 adapter.
