SCSI Drive Installation

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

airflow 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 four screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.

Figure 6-4. Mounting a SCSI Drive in a Carrier

Important: Regardless of how many SCSI hard drives

are installed, both SCSI drive carriers must remain in

the drive bays for proper airflow.

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 airflow.
