Review the following information before connecting power and signal cables to internal drives: • The drives that are preinstalled in your server come with power and signal cables attached. If you replace any drives, it is important to remember which cable is attached to which drive. • When you install a drive, ensure that the drive connector at the end of the signal cable is always connected to a drive, and ensure that the drive connector at the other end is connected to the system board. • If you have only one IDE device on a cable, it must be set as a primary device. • If two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the primary device and the other as the secondary device; otherwise, the server might not detect some of the IDE devices. The primary and secondary designation is determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device. • If two IDE devices are on a single cable and only one is a hard disk drive, the hard disk drive must be set as a primary device. • You must set the SCSI ID for any SCSI device that you install in your server. Each SCSI device has its own methods and considerations for setting the SCSI ID. See the instructions that come with the device for details about setting the SCSI ID for the SCSI device. Installing a drive in bay 2 or 4 Complete the following steps to install a drive in bay 2 or 4. Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 6. 1. Review the safety precautions listed in "Safety" on page v. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the external cables and power cords; then, remove the side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 8 for details). 3. Remove the frame-support bracket and disconnect the fan cable from the connector on the system board. See "Removing the frame-support bracket" on page 9 for details. 4. Use a screwdriver to gently pry the filler panel and EMC shield away from the server. 16 Book Title

Review the following information before connecting power and signal cables to internal
drives:
•
The drives that are preinstalled in your server come with power and signal cables
attached.
If you replace any drives, it is important to remember which cable is
attached to which drive.
•
When you install a drive, ensure that the drive connector at the end of the signal
cable is always connected to a drive, and ensure that the drive connector at the
other end is connected to the system board.
•
If you have only one IDE device on a cable, it must be set as a primary device.
•
If two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the
primary device and the other as the secondary device; otherwise, the server might
not detect some of the IDE devices.
The primary and secondary designation is
determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device.
•
If two IDE devices are on a single cable and only one is a hard disk drive, the hard
disk drive must be set as a primary device.
•
You must set the SCSI ID for any SCSI device that you install in your server.
Each
SCSI device has its own methods and considerations for setting the SCSI ID.
See
the instructions that come with the device for details about setting the SCSI ID for
the SCSI device.
Installing a drive in bay 2 or 4
Complete the following steps to install a drive in bay 2 or 4.
Attention:
When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 6.
1.
Review the safety precautions listed in “Safety” on page v.
2.
Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the external cables and
power cords; then, remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page
8 for details).
3.
Remove the frame-support bracket and disconnect the fan cable from the
connector on the system board. See “Removing the frame-support bracket” on
page 9 for details.
4.
