Installing a 5.25-inch Removable-Media Drive
Installing a 5.25-inch Removable-Media Drive
Before you begin:
Note:
The server's EMI integrity and cooling are both
protected by having the left front bays covered or
occupied. When you install a drive, save the filler
panel from the bay, in case you later remove the drive
and do not replace it with another.
Refer to the illustrations (on left side) while you perform the
steps in this procedure.
To install a removable-media drive in one of the left
front bays:
- Turn off the server and peripheral devices (see
'Preparing to Install Options') and
remove the top cover (see 'Top Cover Removal').
- Remove the NetBAY3 bezel and the media-bay trim
bezel. (See 'Server Door and Trim Bezels Removal'.)
- Remove the screws -1- and filler panel -2- from the
bay opening. Save screws for later use in this
procedure. You do not need the filler panel when you
have a drive installed in the bay.
- Touch the static-protective bag containing the drive to
any unpainted metal surface on the server, then,
remove the drive from the bag and place it on a
static-protective surface.
- Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to
the documentation that comes with the drive.
- Use screws -4- of the appropriate size and length to
attach a slide rail -3- to each side of the drive -5-.
Note:
The slide rails and screws are included in the
drive accessory kit that comes with the server.
- Place the drive so that the slide rails engage in the
bay guide rails. Push the drive into the bay and
attach it with the two screws -1- from the filler panel.
- Loosen the four thumbscrews -8- on the shuttle at
the back of the server.
- Pull the shuttle -7- toward the back of the server.
- Connect one of the connectors on the SCSI cable for
the removable-media drive bays -6- to the back of
the drive -5-.
- Connect a power cable to the back of the drive.
Power cables for removable-media drives come
installed in the server. The connectors are keyed
and can be inserted only one way.
- If you are installing another 5.25-inch drive, do so at
this time. Otherwise, continue with the next step.
- Push the shuttle -7- toward the front of the server
and tighten the four thumbscrews -8- at the back of
the shuttle.
- Install the media-bay trim bezel and the NetBAY3
bezel that you removed earlier. (See
'Installing the Trim Bezels and Server Door')
- If you have other options to install or remove, do so
now, otherwise, go to Completing the Installation.
