Figure 9-6. Attaching Drive Rails

2.Remove the computer covers and front bezel.

See “Removing the Computer Covers” and “Remov- ing the Front Bezel” in Chapter 7.

CAUTION: See “Protecting Against Electro- static Discharge” in the safety instructions at the front of this guide.

3.Slide the new drive into its bay until it snaps securely into place.

If necessary, you can adjust drive alignment by repositioning one or both rails.

4.Connect a DC power cable and one of the connec- tors on the Ultra/Narrow SCSI cable to the back of the drive (see Figure 9-7).

If other installed drives are in the way, temporarily move them out of the way. Press in on the plastic drive rails at the front of the bay to disengage a drive, and then slide the drive slightly toward the front of the chassis.

Refer to “DC Power Cables” (found earlier in this chapter) to determine the correct DC power cable connector to use for the drive. Plug the DC power cable connector into the 4-pin power input connector on the back of the drive.

Select the connector on the Ultra/Narrow SCSI cable that most easily reaches the new SCSI device, and press the interface cable connector firmly into the drive’s interface connector.

If you moved other drives at the beginning of this step, snap them back into place.
