Installing a 5.25-inch removable-media drive Your server also comes with one integrated drive electronics (IDE) CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM drive bay supports a 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media drive. You can install two additional 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media drives or one additional 5.25-inch, full-high, removable-media drive in the removable-media drive bays (A and B). A three-drop power cable comes with your server. Use this cable to connect power to the removable-media drives. The one-drop SCSI signal cable that comes with your server will need to be replaced with a two-drop SCSI signal cable to provide a signal connection to the removable-media drives. Note: The SCSI cables that come with your server can only be used with the integrated SCSI controller with RAID capabilities. If a RAID controller other than the ServeRAID-5i isinstalled, you must use SCSI cables that are compatible with that controller. To select and order the correct cables for use with your RAID controller, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. Check the instructions that come with the drive to see if you need to set any switches or jumpers on the drive. Complete the following steps to install a removable-media drive in bay A or B (see "Internal drive bays" on page 75): 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. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive. 4. Remove the filler panel from the removable-media bay opening. Store the filler panel for future use. Note: The server electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling are both protected by having the front 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. 5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place it on a static-protective surface. 6. Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation that comes with the drive. 7. Install the drive: See the following illustration when installing a 5.25-inch removable-media drive. Note: Use the blue plastic slide rails that come with the server as described in this step, unless the drive comes with custom metal slide rails. 78 xSeries 235 Type 8671: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide

Installing
a
5.25-inch
removable-media
drive
Your
server
also
comes
with
one
integrated
drive
electronics
(IDE)
CD-ROM
drive.
The
CD-ROM
drive
bay
supports
a
5.25-inch,
half-high,
removable-media
drive.
You
can
install
two
additional
5.25-inch,
half-high,
removable-media
drives
or
one
additional
5.25-inch,
full-high,
removable-media
drive
in
the
removable-media
drive
bays
(A
and
B).
A
three-drop
power
cable
comes
with
your
server.
Use
this
cable
to
connect
power
to
the
removable-media
drives.
The
one-drop
SCSI
signal
cable
that
comes
with
your
server
will
need
to
be
replaced
with
a
two-drop
SCSI
signal
cable
to
provide
a
signal
connection
to
the
removable-media
drives.
Note:
The
SCSI
cables
that
come
with
your
server
can
only
be
used
with
the
integrated
SCSI
controller
with
RAID
capabilities.
If
a
RAID
controller
other
than
the
ServeRAID-5i
isinstalled,
you
must
use
SCSI
cables
that
are
compatible
with
that
controller.
To
select
and
order
the
correct
cables
for
use
with
your
RAID
controller,
contact
your
IBM
reseller
or
IBM
marketing
representative.
Check
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
drive
to
see
if
you
need
to
set
any
switches
or
jumpers
on
the
drive.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
a
removable-media
drive
in
bay
A
or
B
(see
“Internal
drive
bays”
on
page
75):
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.
Choose
the
bay
in
which
you
want
to
install
the
drive.
4.
Remove
the
filler
panel
from
the
removable-media
bay
opening.
Store
the
filler
panel
for
future
use.
Note:
The
server
electromagnetic
interference
(EMI)
integrity
and
cooling
are
both
protected
by
having
the
front
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.
5.
Touch
the
static-protective
package
that
contains
the
drive
to
any
unpainted
metal
surface
on
the
server;
then,
remove
the
drive
from
the
package
and
place
it
on
a
static-protective
surface.
6.
Set
any
jumpers
or
switches
on
the
drive
according
to
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
drive.
7.
Install
the
drive:
See
the
following
illustration
when
installing
a
5.25-inch
removable-media
drive.
Note:
Use
the
blue
plastic
slide
rails
that
come
with
the
server
as
described
in
this
step,
unless
the
drive
comes
with
custom
metal
slide
rails.
