v Your server comes with a preinstalled 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB diskette drive in bay D and a preinstalled IDE CD-ROM drive in bay C. v The Netfinity 5100 server supports only one diskette drive. v The diskette drive uses 1 MB and 2 MB diskettes. For optimum use, format 1 MB diskettes to 720 KB and format 2 MB diskettes to 1.44 MB. v Bays A and B come without a device installed. These bays are for 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media drives, such as tape backup drives. You can combine bays A and B into a single full-high bay. v If you are installing a device with a 50-pin connector in one of the empty non-hot-swap bays (bays A-B), you need a 68-pin to 50-pin converter. To order the converter, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. Note: The server's EMI integrity and cooling are both protected by having bays A and B covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove the drive and do not replace it with another. Preinstallation steps (all bays) Before you install drives in your server, verify that you have all the cables and any other equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the internal drive. You might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities. Some of the steps are required only during the initial installation of an option. 1. Read "Safety information" on page 152, "Handling static sensitive devices" on page 47, 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. 4. To install the drive, go to "Installing a hot-swap drive" or to "Installing a non-hot-swap drive" on page 60, as appropriate.
