Note: If your server has a RAID controller or adapter installed, you might need to reconfigure your disk arrays after installing hard disk drives. See your RAID adapter option documentation for complete instructions for installing a RAID adapter in your server and for additional information about RAID adapters. 7. Reinstall the bezel: v If you installed drives in a tower model, see "Installing the bezel (tower model)" on page 107. v If you installed drives in a rack model, see "Installing the bezel (rack model)" on page 108. 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 (bay B) supports a 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media drive. Your server supports one IDE device. 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 (C and D). A three-drop power cable and a one-drop IDE signal cable come with your server. Use these cables to connect the removable-media drives. If you plan to install SCSI devices in the removable-media drive bays, you must purchase a SCSI cable or use the cable that comes with your option. Consult your IBM marketing representative or reseller for additional information about the number and types of cables that your server configuration requires. Before you install a SCSI device, such as a tape drive, you must install a RAID or SCSI adapter in your server and connect the standard hot-swap drive backplane to the RAID or SCSI adapter. Then, you can use a SCSI cable to connect the SCSI device to the internal SCSI connector (J15) on the system board. See "Installing an adapter" on page 55 for additional information. 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 C or D (see "Internal drive bays" on page 73 for the locations of the drive bays). Attention: When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices, see "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 42. 1. Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 41 and "Safety information" on page 169. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and external cables. 3. If your server is a tower model, continue with the next step. If your server is a rack model and you have already installed the server in a rack enclosure, you must disconnect the cable-management-arm bracket from the server. a. Disconnect the cable-management arm -racket from the server. 76 xSeries 255 Type 8685: 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 (bay B) supports a 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media
drive. Your server supports one IDE device.
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 (C and D).
A three-drop power cable and a one-drop IDE signal cable come with your server.
Use these cables to connect the removable-media drives. If you plan to install SCSI
devices in the removable-media drive bays, you must purchase a SCSI cable or
use the cable that comes with your option. Consult your IBM marketing
representative or reseller for additional information about the number and types of
cables that your server configuration requires.
Before you install a SCSI device, such as a tape drive, you must install a RAID or
SCSI adapter in your server and connect the standard hot-swap drive backplane to
the RAID or SCSI adapter. Then, you can use a SCSI cable to connect the SCSI
device to the internal SCSI connector (J15) on the system board. See “Installing an

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 C or D (see
“Internal drive bays” on page 73 for the locations of the drive bays).
Attention:
When you handle static-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details about handling these devices, see
“Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 42.
