Test the drive.
If you installed a SCSI device, run the SCSI controllers test in the system diagnostics. See "
."
If you installed a tape drive, see the tape drive software documentation to perform a backup and verification test.
Hard Drives
Your system can contain up to four 1-inch SATA or SCSI hard drives in a removable drive bay. These drives connect either to the system board or to an optional
controller card.
General Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when installing hard drives:
l
You should only use drives that have been tested and approved by the system manufacturer.
l
Do not install SATA and SCSI hard drives together in the same system.
l
Do not install cabled and hot-plug SCSI hard drives together in the same system.
l
You may need to use different programs than those provided with the operating system to partition and format a hard drive. See the hard drive's
documentation for information on setting up the drive.
l
When you format a high-capacity hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Long format times for these drives are normal. For
example, a large drive can take over an hour to format.
l
Do not turn off or reboot your system while the drive is being formatted. Doing so can cause a drive failure.
Configuring the Boot Drive
The drive or device from which the system boots is determined by the boot order specified in the System Setup program (see "Using the System Setup
Program" in your
User's Guide
). To boot the system from a hard drive or drive array, the drive(s) must be connected to the appropriate controller:
l
To boot from a single SATA hard drive, the master drive (drive 0) must be connected to the SATA_PORT0 connector on the system board. To identify
.
l
To boot from a single SCSI hard drive, the drive must be connected to the SCSI or RAID controller card. See the documentation that accompanied the
controller card.
l
To boot from a SATA RAID (when available) or SCSI RAID array, the drive must be connected to the RAID controller card. See the documentation that
accompanied the controller card.
Cabled SATA and SCSI Hard Drives
Removing a Hard Drive
NOTE:
The hard-drive activity indicator operates only when SATA hard drives are connected directly to the SATA port connectors on the system board.
