Chapter 4: Installing Components

Installing drives

Your server’s basic configuration includes one CD or DVD drive and one 3.5-inch diskette drive. Your server also has an additional 5.25-inch drive bay and an additional 3.5-inch drive bay.

Your server can have as many as four SATA (standard) or SCSI (optional) drives in three internal drive bays and one external fixed drive bay (the bottom 3.5-inch bay).

As you prepare to install drives, remember:

■Do not use the top 5.25-inch drive bay for drives which have electronic components exposed on the top. Drive mounting rails at the top of the bay may damage any exposed electronic components.

■Before you install a drive, see the drive’s documentation for information on configuring the drive, setting drive jumpers, and attaching cables.
