SCSI/IDE Drive Installation

1.Mounting a SCSI/IDE drive in a drive carrier:

The SCSI/IDE drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the SCSI/IDE drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without SCSI/IDE drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new SCSI/IDE drive, install a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side toward the carrier so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.

6113L-8 only: Use caution when working around the SCSI backplane. Do not touch the backplane with any metal ob-

! jects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airflow.

Important: Regardless of how many SCSI/IDE hard drives

!are installed, all SCSI/IDE drive carriers must remain in the drive bays for proper airflow.
