The backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the hard disk drives.
Preinstallation steps
Before you install a hard disk drive, review the following.
v
Inspect the drive tray for any signs of damage.
v
Ensure that the drive is installed properly in the tray.
v
To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server/workstation for
more than two minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each
bay.
v
If your server/workstation has a ServeRAID adapter installed; refer to the
documentation provided with the ServeRAID adapter for information about
adding a drive.
v
Read the safety precautions listed in
“
Safety information
