Pull

the

loops

of

the

drive

assembly

toward

each

other;

then,

carefully

slide

the

drive

assembly

into

the

drive

bay

until

it

stops

and

release

the

loops.

Note:

Do

not

release

the

loops

on

the

drive

assembly

until

it

is

completely

seated.

8.

Attach

the

signal

cable

to

the

drive:

a.

Attach

one

end

of

the

signal

cable

to

the

corresponding

connector

on

the

rear

of

the

drive.

b.

Attach

the

other

end

of

the

signal

cable

to

the

corresponding

connector

on

the

system

board.

9.

Connect

the

power

cable

to

the

rear

of

the

drive.

The

connectors

are

keyed

and

can

be

inserted

only

one

way.

If

you

have

other

options

to

install

or

remove,

do

so

now;

otherwise,

go

to

“Completing

the

installation”

on

page

44.

Power

and

signal

cables

for

internal

drives

The

server

uses

cables

to

connect

parallel

IDE,

simple-swap

SATA,

and

SAS

devices

to

the

power

supply

and

to

the

system

board.

(See

“System-board

internal

connectors”

on

page

14

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

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

or

a

compatible

adapter

or

controller

that

you

have

installed.

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.

v

When

you

route

a

cable,

make

sure

that

it

does

not

block

the

airflow

to

the

rear

of

the

drives

or

over

the

microprocessor

or

DIMMs.

The

following

cables

are

provided:

v

Power

cables:

Four-wire

power

cables

connect

the

drives

to

the

power

supply.

At

the

end

of

these

cables

are

plastic

connectors

that

can

be

attached

to

different

drives;

these

connectors

vary

in

size.

Use

either

a

four-wire

power

cable

or

SATA

power

cable

with

SATA

drives,

but

do

not

use

both

at

the

same

time

(use

one

or

the

other).

v

Signal

cables:

Signal

cables

are

typically

flat

cables,

also

called

ribbon

cables,

that

connect

parallel

IDE,

SATA,

SAS,

and

diskette

drives

to

the

system

board.

Two

or

three

types

of

signal

cables

come

with

the

server:

–

IDE:

The

wider

IDE

signal

cable

has

three

connectors.

One

of

these

connectors

is

attached

to

the

drive,

one

is

a

spare,

and

the

third

is

attached

to

the

primary

or

secondary

IDE

connector

on

the

system

board.

The

spare

connector

can

be

used

to

connect

an

additional

IDE

drive

to

the

server.

The

CD-ROM

drive

is

attached

to

an

ATA

100

signal

cable.

ATA

100

signal

cables

are

color-coded.

The

blue

connector

is

attached

to

the

system

board.
