3-32 Option Installation
Installing the 5 1/4-Inch Device
Use the following procedure to install an accessible device into the 5 1/4-inch device cage.
1.
Remove the side panel (see “Removing the Side Panel”).
2.
Remove the front panel (see “Removing the Front Panel”).
3.
Follow the preinstallation instructions that come with the device, such as setting
jumpers and switches.
See “Device Preparation” for device preparation information.
NOTE:
If the 5 1/4-inch device comes with
drive rails, do not attach them. Remove any rails
already attached. See the documentation that
comes with the device.
4.
Locate the device rails that ship with the system unit. Attach the rails to the sides
of the device with the four screws that come with the device (see Figure Section
3-26).
NOTE:
The device rails are labeled A and B and
are not interchangeable. If the rails prevent the
device from aligning properly in the system,
reattach the rails on the opposite sides of the
device.
If you are installing an accessible device (diskette drive, tape drive, or CD-ROM
reader), attach the rails to the device so that the front of the device extends
beyond the chassis and is even with the blank panels on the front of the system.
