Installing a drive in bay 1, 2, 3, or 4 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). Read the documentation that comes with the drive. Read "Internal drives" on page 105. To install a 3.5-inch drive into drive bay 1 or 2 (5.25-inch bays), you must install a conversion kit. For information on purchasing a 3.5-inch conversion kit for a 5.25-inch bay, see your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. Consider the following when installing a drive: Bays 1 and 2 can hold up to a 5.25-inch drive, such as a CD-ROM, diskette, or tape drive. Bays 3 and 4 can hold up to a 3.5-inch drive, such as a diskette, hard disk, or tape drive. Drives that are greater than 41.3 mm (1.6 in.) high cannot be used. Drives that require removable media (diskettes, tapes, or CDs) must be installed in the accessible bays: 1, 2, 3, or 4. 1. Determine which drive bay of the upper drive bracket you are going to use. 2. Remove the upper drive bracket. See "Accessing drive bays" on page 109. 3. Touch the static-protective package containing the new drive to any unpainted (bare) metal surface and then remove the drive. 4. Install the drive into the upper drive bracket so that the power and signal cable connectors are to the rear of the server. Align the screw holes and insert the four screws.
