Installing Drives in the Internal Bays 9-115

Installing SCSI Hard-Disk Drives

in the Internal Bays

Configure and install SCSI hard-disk drives in your com-

puter’s internal drive bays as follows:

1. Determine where your SCSI drive(s) will be

installed and which connector on the SCSI cable

you will attach to each of them.

See “SCSI Cable” found earlier in this chapter.

2. Unpack each SCSI drive, and prepare it for

installation.

Configure each drive for a SCSI ID number, and

enable the termination, if necessary. For instructions,

see the documentation that came with the SCSI drive

as well as “SCSI Configuration Guidelines” earlier

in this chapter. For instructions on configuring the

drive as a boot device, see “Configuring the Boot

Device” found earlier in this chapter.

3. Remove the computer cover and front bezel

according to the instructions in “Removing the

Computer Cover” and “Removing the Front Bezel”

in Chapter 6.

4. Lay the computer on its right side for easy access

to the internal hard-disk drive cage and the

expansion card slots.

5. Disconnect the interface cables and power cables

from any hard-disk drives already installed in the

hard-disk drive cage.

6. Remove the four mounting screws that secure the

hard-disk drive cage to the chassis (Figure 9-4).

7. Remove the hard-disk drive cage from the

chassis.

Slide the hard-disk drive cage toward the back of the

chassis until the tabs on the hard-disk drive cage

release from the guide rails on the bottom of the

upper drive cage. Then lift the hard-disk drive cage

up and out of the chassis.

Cage

8. If you are installing a SCSI controller card, con-

figure the card. Then install it in one of the

expansion slots.

For instructions on configuring the SCSI controller

card, see the documentation for the card. For instruc-

tions on installing the card, see “Installing an

Expansion Card” in Chapter 7.

CAUTION: See “Protecting Against Electro-

static Discharge” in the safety instructions at

the front of this guide.
