SCSI Drive Installation
1. Mounting a SCSI drive in a drive carrier
The SCSI drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the
SCSI drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without SCSI drives installed
must remain in the chassis. To add a new SCSI drive, install a drive into the carrier
with the printed circuit board side toward the carrier so that the mounting holes align
with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with screws, as shown in
Figure 6-4.

Accessing the Drive Bays
SCSI Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the
inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace SCSI drives.
Proceed to the next step for instructions.
CD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing a CD-ROM drive, you will need to gain
access to the inside of the 5014C-M8 by removing the top cover of the chassis.
Proceed to the "CD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for instruc-
tions.
Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM drive will fi t into the 6014L-M4.
