v You cannot install hot-swap hard disk drives or non-hot-swap hard disk drives in the right-front bays (bays A through D). You can install hot-swap hard disk drives only in the hot-swap hard disk drive bays on the left-front side of the server. v Your server supports a maximum of six standard 26 mm (1-inch) slim-high, 3.5-inch, hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. The standard hot-swap bays are bays 1 through 6, located in the standard (upper) drive cage. v You can install six additional hot-swap hard disk drives in the server after you install the optional 6-Pack hot-swap backplane in the optional (lower) drive cage. The optional hot-swap bays are bays 7 through 12, located in the optional (lower) drive cage. v The SCSI IDs for the hot-swap drives are printed on the bezel, immediately adjacent to the hot-swap drive bays. The IDs are: - 0 through 5 for bays 1 through 6 - 10 through 15 for bays 7 through 12 v The server does not support half-high hot-swap drives. v To minimize the possibility of damage to the hard disk drives when you are installing a hard disk drive in a rack model, install the rack model in the rack enclosure before installing the hard disk drives. v You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap drive bays. However, you must turn off the server when performing any steps that involve installing or removing cables. v Before you install any internal drives in a tower model server, you must first remove the bezel (see "Removing the bezel (tower model)" on page 52). Before you install 5.25-inch removable-media drives in a rack model server, you must first remove the bezel (see "Removing the bezel (rack model)" on page 51). v Your server supports one IDE device. You must first disconnect the IDE cable from the CD-ROM drive that comes with your server and remove the CD-ROM drive before you install another IDE device. Note: Attach the black connector end of the IDE cable to the IDE device; attach the blue connector end of the IDE cable to the system board. v For a list of supported IDE and SCSI options for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/ on the World Wide Web. 74 xSeries 255 Type 8685: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
