Installing an Optical or Tape Drive CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before you begin this procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system. 1 Unpack the drive and prepare it for installation. For instructions, see the documentation that accompanied the drive. If you are installing a SCSI tape drive, you must have a SCSI controller card installed. See "Installing an Expansion Card" on page 72. NOTE: It is recommended that you install the SCSI controller card in expansion card slot 1 for optimal cable-routing. See Figure 6-2 for the location of expansion card slot 1. Configure the tape drive according to the documentation that came with the tape drive, based on the following guidelines: a Each device attached to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique SCSI ID number (narrow SCSI devices use IDs 0 to 7; wide SCSI devices use IDs from 0 to 15). Set the drive's SCSI ID to avoid conflicts with other devices on the SCSI bus. For the default SCSI ID setting, see the documentation provided with the drive. NOTE: There is no requirement that SCSI ID numbers be assigned sequentially or that devices be attached to the cable in order by ID number. b SCSI logic requires that the two devices at opposite ends of a SCSI chain be terminated and that all devices in between be unterminated. Therefore, you enable the tape drive's termination if it is the last device in a chain of devices (or sole device) connected to the SCSI controller. 2 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet. 3 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 47. 4 Remove the front drive bezel. See "Removing the Front Drive Bezel" on page 49. 5 If another drive is installed, remove it (see "Removing an Optical or Tape Drive" on page 57) and remove the three shoulder screws to attach to the new drive (see Figure 3-11). 60 Installing System Components

Installing System Components
Installing an Optical or Tape Drive
CAUTION:
Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system
cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before you begin this
procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.
1
Unpack the drive and prepare it for installation. For instructions, see the
documentation that accompanied the drive.
If you are installing a SCSI tape drive, you must have a SCSI
controller
card installed. See "Installing an Expansion Card
" on page 72
.
NOTE:
It is recommended that you install the SCSI controller card in
expansion card slot 1 for optimal cable-routing. See Figure 6-2 for the location
of expansion card slot 1.
Configure the tape drive according to the documentation that came
with the tape drive, based on the following guidelines:
a
Each device attached to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique
SCSI ID number (narrow SCSI devices use IDs 0 to 7; wide SCSI
devices use IDs from 0 to 15). Set the drive’s SCSI ID to avoid
conflicts with other devices on the SCSI bus. For the default SCSI ID
setting, see the documentation provided with the drive.
NOTE:
There is no requirement that SCSI ID numbers be assigned
sequentially or that devices be attached to the cable in order by ID number.
b
SCSI logic requires that the two devices at opposite ends of a SCSI
chain be terminated and that all devices in between be unterminated.
Therefore, you enable the tape drive’s termination if it is the last
device in a chain of devices (or sole device) connected to the SCSI
controller.
2
Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect
the system from the electrical outlet.
3
Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 47.
4
Remove the front drive bezel. See "Removing the Front Drive Bezel" on
page 49.
5
If another drive is installed, remove it (see "Removing an Optical or Tape
Drive" on page 57) and remove the three shoulder screws to attach to the
new drive (see Figure 3-11).
