3. Operating the SCSIBox 2 and Vault Rack
After a Silicon Graphics-certified system support engineer (SSE) has
installed the SCSIBox 2 and Vault rack, you can add compatible drives to the
drive boxes as shown in this chapter.
Installing and Removing Drives
This section describes how to install and remove drives for the SCSIBox 2;
but before you install the drives, you need to perform these tasks:
• select the SCSI ID for the drives
• select the correct channel (A or B) on the drive sled
• ensure that the drive sled jumpers are set correctly
Selecting the SCSI ID
Jumper the SCSI ID for each drive to avoid addressing conflicts.
Selecting a Channel on the Drive Sled
Determine which channel (A or B) you want the drive to occupy, then plug
the SCSI cable from the drive into the proper channel connector. See
Figure 3-1.
