To install removable disk drives in the disk drive bay:

1.

 

Open the disk drive bay door on the front of the base unit.  The key is in the parts box.

2.

 

Take the removable disk drives from their carton and place them on an antistatic surface.
Carefully open the antistatic bags and remove the drives.  Note the ID numbers on the drives.

3.

 

Extend the latching clips on one drive and align the rails on the side of the drive with the slot
guides in the rightmost slot (Drive 0).  The metal casing of the drive faces to the left.  If you
install the drive reversed, it will not connect to the system.

4.

 

With your thumb, push the drive at the center between the latching clips until it slides all the
way into the slot and firmly engages the connector.

5.

 

Close the latching clips to lock the drive in the slot.

6.

 

Repeat steps 3 through 6 to install each remaining removable disk drive.  Fill each slot,
moving to the left adjacent slot as you install each drive.  Do not leave empty slots between
drives.

The following figure shows three removable disk drives installed in the disk drive bay.

Connecting an External SCSI Device

You can add external single-ended Narrow Ultra SCSI drives to the system by connecting them to
the Narrow Ultra SCSI port on the back of the system.  The system features integrated Narrow
Ultra SCSI and Wide Ultra2 SCSI controllers.  However, only the Narrow Ultra SCSI controller
has an external port.  To connect external Wide Ultra or Wide Ultra2 peripheral devices, you must
install the appropriate SCSI controller as an expansion card.
