Install a Mass-Storage Device
Each controller card has an external slot on the front panel in which you can install an optional Type I or
Type II mass-storage device.
To install a mass-storage device, perform the following steps:
1. Hold the device so that its pin-hole side faces the slot in the controller front panel.
2. Horizontally align the device as close to the bottom edge of the slot as possible and perpendicular to it;
3. Slowly insert the device in the slot. If the device does not engage the connectors with approximately
0.5 inches (1.27 cm) of the device outside the slot, do not continue. Remove the device and repeat this
step.

Note
If you install a mass-storage device in the active controller card, the standby controller card, if
installed, must also have a mass-storage device installed; however, the device types (Type I or
Type II) need not match.
Caution
Risk of equipment malfunction. On early versions of the XCRP Controller card, it is possible to
slide the mass-storage device into the slot without the internal pins engaging the device. When
this happens, it is not always possible to retrieve the device from the slot; the controller card
must be removed from the chassis and the front panel removed from the card. To reduce the risk,
ensure that you position the device as described in step 3.
