Recessed area Bezel filler 5. Touch the static-protective package containing the drive to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place it on a static-protective surface. 6. Align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay (the connector end of the drive goes in first); then, gently slide the drive assembly all the way into the drive bay until you hear a click. 7. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, replace the bezel filler; then, see "Completing the installation" on page 60. Power and signal cables for internal drives The server uses cables to connect parallel IDE, simple-swap Serial ATA, and SCSI devices to the power supply and to the system board (see "System board internal connectors" on page 86 for the location of system-board connectors). Review the following information before connecting power and signal cables to internal drives: v The drives that are preinstalled in the server come with power and signal cables attached. If you replace any drives, remember or label which cable is attached to which drive. v When you install a drive, make sure that one of the signal cable drive connectors is connected to the drive and that the connector at the other end of the signal cable is connected to the system board. v If you have only one IDE device on a cable, it must be set as a master device. v If two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the master device and the other as the subordinate device; otherwise, the server might not recognize some of the IDE devices. The master and subordinate designation is determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device. 44 xSeries 226 Type 8488 and 8648: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
