Installing a Hard Disk Drive in the CE-566
To install a SCSI hard disk drive in CE-566, complete the following steps.
Note All hard disk drives being used in the Content Engine should have the same
throughput speed rating. Mixing hard disk drives with different speed ratings will
cause all hard disk drives to operate at the lower throughput speed.
Note If your Content Engine has only one hard disk drive, install it in the left drive bay.
Note To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the Content Engine for more
than 10 minutes without either a hard disk drive or a filler panel installed in
each bay.
Step1 Inspect the new drive for any signs of damage.
Step2 Review the information in the “Safety Warnings” section on page 2-1, and the
“Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-4.
Step3 Power down the Content Engine and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power
cord and all external cables.
Step4 Press the release tabs on the bezel and pull the bezel away from the
Content Engine. (See Figure4-2.)
Step5 Slide the drive tray out of the Content Engine.
Step6 Position the hard disk drive on the tray. (See Figure 4-6.)
Step7 Secure the hard disk drive using screws.
Step8 Slide the tray back into the Content Engine.
Step9 Connect the power and signal cables to the drive.
Step10 Replace the bezel.
