If other installed drives are in the way, temporarily move them out of the way. Press in on the plastic drive rails at the front of the bay to disengage a drive, and then slide the drive slightly toward the front of the chassis. Refer to "DC Power Cables," found earlier in this chapter, to determine the correct DC power cable connector to use for the drive. Plug the DC power cable connector into the 4-pin power input connector on the back of the drive. Select the connector on the Ultra/Narrow SCSI cable that most easily reaches the new SCSI device, and press the interface cable connector firmly into the drive's interface connector. If you moved other drives at the beginning of this step, snap them back into place. See "Removing and Replacing Front-Panel Inserts" found earlier in this chapter. To test a SCSI tape drive, refer to the documentation for the tape drive software to perform a tape drive backup and verification test. Installing Drives in the External Bays 9-7
