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; also, ensure that the drive connector at the other end is connected to the system board. This reduces electronic noise from the server. If two IDE devices are used on a single cable, one must be designated as the primary or master device and the other a secondary or subordinate device; otherwise, some of the IDE devices might not be recognized by the system. The primary or secondary designation is determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device. For help in selecting drives, cables, and other options for your server, do one of the following: Within the United States, call 1-800-IBM-2YOU (1-800-426-2968), your IBM reseller, or your IBM marketing representative. Within Canada, call 1-800-565-3344 or 1-800-465-7999. Outside the United States and Canada, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. Accessing drive bays Before you begin Read "Safety Information" on page 196 Turn off the server and all other connected devices. Disconnect all external cables and power cords, and then remove the server cover (see "Preparing to install and remove options" on page 73). Notes 1. Drive bays 1, 4, and (on some models) 5 come with drives preinstalled. 2. Drive bays 2 and 3 have a bay panel and static shield installed. 3. If you remove a drive which has removable media from a bay and you do not intend to install a new drive immediately, reinstall the static shield and bay panel for that bay. To access drive bays 1 through 4, go to "Accessing drive bays 1 through 4" on page 110. To access drive bays 5 and 6, go to "Accessing drive bays 5 and 6" on page 111. Netfinity 8655 - Type 8655 109
