Installing internal drives
Install ing int ernal d rives If you add different types of drives, your system can read multiple types of media and
store more data. Several types of drives are available, such as:
• Diskette
• Hard disk
• CD-ROM
• Tape
Your server contains hardware that enables you to replace a failed hard disk drive
without turning off the server. Therefore, you have the advantage of continuing to
operate your system while a hard disk drive is removed or installed. These drives are
known as hot-swap drives.
Each hot-swap drive bay has two indicator lights (see “Server controls and indicators”
on page 5). If the amber hard-disk drive status light is lit continuously, that individual
drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. When the hard-disk drive status light
indicates a drive fault, you can replace that hot-swap drive without turning off the
server.
Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install must have a hot-swap-drive tray attached.
The drive must have a single connector attachment (SCA) connector. Hot-swap-drive
trays come with the hot-swap drives.
Internal drive bays
Internal drives are installed in bays . Your server comes with a pre-installed diskette
drive and a pre-installed CD-ROM drive.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
• Your server comes with one 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB diskette drive and one 24x IDE
CD-ROM drive.
• The empty bays below the diskette drive come without a device installed. You can
use these bays for 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media drives, such as tape
backup drives. You also can combine these bays into a single, full-high bay and
install a digital linear tape (DLT) drive; or, you can install an xSeries Media Bay
Ultra160 Hot Swap Conversion Kit option, which converts these bays to three hot-
swap drive bays.
• The xSeries 342 server supports only one diskette drive.
• If you are installing a device with a 50-pin connector in either of the 5.25-inch
bays, you need a 68-pin to 50-pin converter.
