Installing a 5.25-inch Peripheral in the Front Bay Three 5.25-inch half-height bays provide space for tape backup, CD-ROM, or other removable media drives. CAUTIONS Only single-ended SCSI devices supported: The internal SCSI interface in this system supports only single-ended SCSI devices on the narrow SCSI channel. Connecting differential SCSI drive types to this interface can result in electrical damage to the baseboard and peripherals. Do not install hard drives in 5.25-inch bays: We recommend that you do NOT install hard drives in the 5.25-inch bays: the drives cannot be properly cooled in this location; also, a hard drive generates EMI and is therefore more susceptible to ESD in this location.  NOTES Save the filler panels and EMI shields: System EMI integrity and cooling are both protected by having drives installed in the bays or filler panels and EMI shields covering the bays. When you install a drive, save the panel and shield to reinstall in case you should later remove the drive and not reinstall one in the same bay. Bus termination when installing SCSI devices: It is important that your cabling and connections meet the SCSI bus specification. Otherwise, the bus could be unreliable and data corruption could occur or devices might not work at all. The SCSI bus needs to be terminated at the end of the cable; this is usually provided by the last SCSI device on the cable. For more information on connecting the signal drive to a cable, see step 10 on page 100. 98
