Before you install an internal drive, review the following information: v Diskette drives, tape drives, CD-ROM, and DVD-ROM drives are examples of removable-media drives. You can install removable-media drives in bays 1, 2, 3, and 4 only. v 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. v You can install a 3.5-in. slim-high removable-media drive only in bay 4. v The IBM xSeries 205 Type 8480 server supports only one diskette drive. v To install a 3.5-in. drive in a 5.25-in. bay, you must use a 5.25 in. conversion kit, supplied with your option. Note: Only 3.5-in. options that come with proper mounting hardware are supported in the 5.25-in. bays. v The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all bays and PCI slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive or PCI adapter, save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay or the PCI adapter slot cover in the event you later remove the option. v For a complete list of supported options for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web. Preinstallation steps Before you install drives in your server, verify that you have all the cables and other equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the drive. You might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities. Some of the steps are required only during the initial installation of an option. Before installing a drive in bays 1, 2, 3, or 4, do the following: 1. Read "Safety information" on page 119, "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 37, and the documentation that comes with your drive. 2. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive. 3. Check the instructions that come with the drive to see if you need to set any switches or jumpers on the drive. If you are installing a SCSI device, be sure to set the SCSI ID for that device.
