Installing Storage Options in the Drive Bracket

This section tells how to install drives in the drive bracket (inner-bay upper and lower
positions). SCSI hard disk drives and tape drives typically are mounted in a removable
drive bracket.

When installing a drive in the drive bracket, follow these steps:

1.

If the drive is a SCSI device, set the drive jumpers or switches for the desired SCSI ID
(address). This address depends on the unit numbers currently in use. (Appendix D,
Equipment Log, contains space to record your system's SCSI ID assignments.) Follow
the guidelines in the manual that came with the drive.

2.

Loosen the two screws

c

holding the drive bracket, lift the rear of the bracket, and

then slide the bracket to the rear slightly and lift it out of the system unit, as Figure
4-10 and Figure 4-11 show. Remove cables from the drive after the assembly has
been lifted out of the system unit.
