Note: If the server is configured for RAID operation using an optional ServeRAID adapter, you might have to reconfigure your disk arrays after installing hard disk drives. See the ServeRAID documentation on the IBM ServeRAID Support CD for additional information about RAID operation and complete instructions for using ServeRAID Manager. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 68. The simple-swap-drive backplate controls the IDs for the internal simple-swap drive bays. The following table lists the IDs for the hard disk drives and backplate that are connected to simple-swap models. Device ID Drive bay 4 3 Drive bay 5 2 Drive bay 6 1 Drive bay 7 0 Power and signal cables for internal drives The server uses cables to connect parallel IDE, simple-swap SATA, hot-swap SATA and hot-swap SAS devices to the power supply and to the system board. (See "System-board internal connectors" on page 18 for the location of system-board connectors.) Review the following information before connecting power and signal cables to internal drives: v The drives that are preinstalled in the server come with power and signal cables attached. If you replace any drives, remember which cable is attached to which drive. 44 System x3400 Types 7973, 7974, 7975, and 7976: User's Guide
