Book Title
Installing internal drives
Your server comes with an IDE CD-ROM drive installed in bay 1 and a 3.5-in., 1.44 MB
diskette drive in bay 3. Some models have a hard disk drive installed in bay 5.
Before you install an internal drive, review the following information:
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.
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.
You can install only a 3.5-in., slim-high, removable-media drive in bay 4.
The xSeries 205 server supports only one diskette drive, which uses 1 MB and 2
MB diskettes.
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. See the
documentation that comes with the option for the conversion kit installation
instructions.
Note:
Only 3.5-in. options that come with proper mounting hardware are
supported in the 5.25-in. bays.
If you have a tape backup drive in your server, use a dry-process cleaning
cartridge to clean the tape head 2 hours after you first use a new data cartridge.
Then, clean the tape head once a month, or after each 8 hours of continuous
read/write operations, whichever occurs first. For complete details about the tape
backup drive, see the documentation that comes with your server or your backup
option.
The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are both
protected by having bays 1 through 4 covered or occupied. When you install a
drive, save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove
the drive and do not replace it with another.
