The following notes describe the types of drives that the server supports and other
information that you must consider when you install a drive:
v
Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified in
the documentation that comes with the drive.
v
Select the bay in which you want to install the drive.
v
Check the instructions that come with the drive to see whether you have to set
any switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SAS or SATA device,
be sure to set the SAS or SATA ID for that device.
v
Optional external USB diskette drives, tape drives, CD drives, CD-RW drives,
DVD/CD-RW combo, and multiburner drives are examples of removable-media
drives. You can install removable-media drives in bays 1, 2, and 3 only.
v
To install a 3.5 in. drive in a 5.25 in. bay, you must use the 5.25 in. conversion
kit.
v
The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are
protected by having all bays and PCI, and PCI Express slots covered or
occupied. When you install a drive, PCI, or PCI Express adapter, save the EMC
shield from the bay, the PCI or PCI Express adapter slot cover in the event that
you later remove the device.
