Installing drives
Your server’s standard configuration includes one CD drive, a 3.25 inch diskette drive, and
one SATA hard drive. Your server also has one additional 5.25-inch external drive bay, one
additional 3.5-inch external drive bay, and two additional internal drive bays.
As you prepare to install drives, remember:
■
Before you install a drive, see the drive’s documentation for information on
configuring the drive, setting drive jumpers, and attaching cables.
■
You may need to configure the drives you install using the BIOS Setup utility. Press
F2
at startup to open the BIOS Setup utility.
■
Parallel ATA (PATA) hard drives, also known as IDE hard drives, can be configured as
single, master, slave, or cable-select. IDE CD drives can be configured as master, slave,
or cable-select.
■
If cable-select is available (drive assignments will be marked on the cable), the PATA
cable assigns the master/slave positions to the drives it connects. You can override
these assignments using the jumpers on the drives.
■
If cable-select is not available and only one drive is attached to a PATA controller
cable, configure the drive as master if it is a CD drive. If two drives of any type
are attached to the cable, configure one as master and one as slave.
