Internal drive bays
Internal drives are installed in bays .
The server comes with one 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB diskette drive, one CD-ROM drive, and two hard disk drive bays.
Hard disk drives
The server comes with a Wide Ultra-2 SCSI (LVD) controller on the I/O function card.
Notes:
A 16-bit (wide) SCSI cable connects the hot-swap backplane to one channel of the integrated SCSI controller
on the I/O function card.
SCSI IDs: Each SCSI device that is connected to an individual integrated SCSI controller
needs a unique identification (ID) so that the controller can identify the devices and ensure that different
devices do not attempt to transfer data at the same time.
(The integrated SCSI controllers operate independently.)
If you need to set IDs for SCSI devices, refer to the instructions that come with those devices.
The server automatically sets SCSI IDs for hot-swap hard disk drives.
The server uses the hard disk drive SCSI IDs to send status information to the indicator lights located on
each hot-swap drive.
Note: Do not set the SCSI ID jumpers on hard disk drives.
The SCSI backplane in the server supports up to two hot-swap drives.
Table 12 shows the default SCSI IDs that the backplane assigns for hot-swap hard disk drives.
Table 12. Automatically assigned SCSI IDs
Refer to the ServeRAID adapter option documentation for instructions on installing a ServeRAID adapter.
Remove the defective hard disk drive -2- by pressing on the lock to release the handle -3-, placing the
handle in the open position (perpendicular to the drive), and pulling the hot-swap tray from the bay.
Note: If you are installing a slim-high drive, you must separate the slim filler bezel from the tray, and
insert the slim filler bezel into the top of the hard disk drive cage.
Otherwise, store the filler panel in a safe place.
Note: If the server has a ServeRAID adapter installed, refer to the ServeRAID adapter documentation
for details about configuration requirements.

Note: The default SCSI ID for the SCSI backplane is 15.
The default SCSI ID for each SCSI controller is 7.
A simplified layout of the SCSI backplane is shown in 'SCSI backplane component locations'.
The processing sequence for SCSI devices is set through the SCSISelect Utility program.
The default sequence proceeds from the lowest SCSI ID to the highest (0 to 6, then 8 to 14).
The default SCSI ID for each SCSI controller is 7.
The default SCSI ID for the SCSI backplane is 15.
Termination: All the internal hot-swap drives in the server have automatic termination.
Preinstallation steps: Before you install drives in the server, verify that you have all the cables and any
other equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the internal drive.
You might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities.
Some of the steps are required only during the initial installation of an option.
Installing or replacing a drive
Notes:
If the amber hard disk status light for a drive is lit continuously, that individual drive is defective and needs to
be replaced.
For additional information, see 'Internal drives installation'.
For the location of the hard disk status light, see 'Controls and indicators'.
-Attention-
If the server has a ServeRAID adapter installed and you assigned RAID level 1 or 5 to the logical drives in the disk
array, make sure that the drive is defective.
If you partially or completely remove a good drive instead of a defective one, the server might lose valuable data.
However, the ServeRAID adapter can rebuild the data that you need, provided that certain conditions are met.
Refer to the ServeRAID adapter documentation for further details.
Handle the drive gently.
Before you begin:
Refer to the following illustration while you perform the steps in this procedure.
-1- Filler panel (tray and slim filler bezel)
-2- Hot-swap hard disk drive
-3- Drive tray handle (open position)
To install or replace a hard disk drive:
Continue with (below) step 3.
Then, remove the drive assembly from the static-protective package.
Record the configuration information.
