For instructions on installing drives in bays 1 and 3, see "CD-ROM drive" on page 80 and "Floppy disk drive" on page 81. Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware. Bay 1 Bay 2 Bay 3 Bay 4 Bay 5 Bay 6 Bay 7 Notes: 1. Diskette drives, tape drives, and CD-ROM drives are removable-media drives. You can install removable-media drives in bays 1, 2, 3, and 4. 2. You can install a 3.5-in., slim-high, or a 5.25-in., half-high, removable-media drive, such as a tape backup drive, in bay 2. 3. You can only install a 3.5-in., slim-high, removable-media drive in bay 4. 4. The xSeries 200 server supports only one diskette drive, which uses 1 MB and 2 MB diskettes. 5. Before you install a 3.5-in. drive in a 5.25-in. bay, you must attach the 5.25 in. conversion kit, supplied with your option, to the 3.5-in drive. Refer to the documentation that comes with the option for the conversion kit installation instructions. Note: Only 3.5-in. options that ship with proper mounting hardware can be supported in the 5.25-in. bays. 6. If you have a tape backup drive in the server, use a dry process cleaning cartridge to clean the tape head two hours after you first use a new data cartridge. Then, clean the tape head once a month, or after each eight hours of continuous read/write operations, whichever occurs first. For complete details about the tape backup drive, refer to the documentation that comes with the server or your backup option. 50 xSeries 200 Type 8479 and xSeries 200VL Type 8481: Hardware Maintenance Manual
