These drives are known as hot-swappable drives. They are also referred to as hot-swap drives. Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install must have a hot-swap-drive tray attached. The drive must have a single connector attachment (SCA) connector. Hot-swap-drive trays come with the hot-swap drives. v Your server supports six slim (1-inch) or three half-high (1.6-inch), 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. v The hot-swap bays connect to a SCSI backplane. This backplane is the printed circuit board behind the bay. v The backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the hot swap drives. Non-hot-swap drives Diskette drives, tape drives, and CD-ROM drives are non-hot-swap drives. To remove or install a non-hot swap drive, you must turn off the server first. Non-hot-swap drives are installed in bays A, B, C, and D only. 56 : Netfinity 5100 Type 8658 Models 11Y, 21Y, 31Y, 41Y, 51Y, 1RY, 2RY, 3RY, 4RY, 5RY
