Each hot-swap drive bay has two indicator lights on the front of the server (see "Information LED panel" on page 205). If the amber Hard Disk Status light for a drive is lit continuously, that individual drive might be faulty and needs to be checked. See "ServeRAID system board controller" on page 66. When the Hard Disk Status light indicates a drive fault, you can replace a hot-swap drive without turning off the server. 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. The server comes with a preinstalled 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB diskette drive and a preinstalled IDE CD-ROM drive. 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. Bays A and B can be combined into a single full-high bay. The Netfinity 5500 M20 supports only one diskette drive. The server does not support hard disk drives in bays A and B because of cooling considerations. Note The server's EMI integrity and cooling are both protected by having the left front bays (removable-media bays) 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. If you are installing a device with a 50-pin connector in one of the removable-media bays (bays A-B), you need a 68-pin to 50-pin converter. The 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. The hot-swap bays connect to a SCSI backplane. This backplane is the printed circuit board behind the bay. The backplane supports up to six hard disk drives. 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. SCSI drives: Some drives have a special design called small computer system interface, or SCSI. This design allows you to attach multiple drives to a single SCSI channel. 214 Netfinity Server HMM
