with that controller. To select and order the correct cables for use with your RAID controller, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. Installing the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion option Notes: 1. The 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit might contain some components that you will not need for this procedure. For information about the contents of this option kit, see the documentation that comes with the option kit. 2. The 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion option does not support use of a SCSI repeater card. Complete the following steps to install the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion option: 1. Review the information in "Installation guidelines" on page 45, "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 46, and "Safety information" on page 169. 2. Turn off the server and disconnect all power cords and external cables ("Turning off the server" on page 9); then, remove the server cover (see "Removing the server left-side cover and bezel (tower model)" on page 55 or "Removing the server top cover and bezel (rack configuration)" on page 57). 3. If necessary, remove the air-baffle assembly, adapter-support bracket, adapters, and plastic dividers. See "Removing and installing the adapter-support bracket" on page 58 and "Working with adapters" on page 60 for additional information. Attention: The server electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling are both protected by having the front bays covered or occupied. When you install the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion option, save the filler panels from the bay, in case you later remove the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion option and do not replace it with another device. 4. Remove the two filler panels from the removable-media bay opening. Store the filler panels for future use. 5. Remove the custom metal slide rails and screws that are inside the 5.25-inch removable-media drive bays. Store the slide rails and screws for future use. 6. Complete the following steps to attach the SCSI backplane to the drive cage: Drive cage SCSI backplane Screws M3 x 5 (4) a. Place the SCSI backplane on the rear of the cage with the hole and slot in the SCSI backplane aligned with the pins on the drive cage, making sure that the SCSI connector is at the top. b. Attach the SCSI backplane to the drive cage using four short M3 x 5 screws. Chapter 4. Customer replaceable units 71
