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 drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must
remain in the chassis. To add a new SCSI drive, install it into the carrier with the
printed circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those
in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure
6-4.

!
Important: Regardless of how many SCSI hard drives are installed,
all drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper
airfl ow.
Use caution when working around the SCSI backplane. Do not
touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no
ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which
aid in proper airfl ow.
