Note:

The 3.5-inch diskette drive is not installed in the 5.25-inch drive bay. The diskette drive carrier attaches to the outside of the 5.25-inch drive bay (see Figure 13 on page 46).

4.Attach the carrier to the drive with three screws of the appropriate size and length (reuse the screws you removed before). Tighten the screws firmly.

5.Position the carrier so that the two protruding notches fit into the corresponding slits in the side of the 5.25-inch drive bay. Slide the assembly toward the front of the system to engage the notches.

6.Make sure the front of the drive fits correctly in the front opening of the system. When properly positioned, the carrier notches extend slightly into the interior of the 5.25-inch drive bay and the threaded hole in the carrier aligns with the threaded hole in the frame.

7.Secure the assembly to the 5.25-inch bay with the screw you removed earlier; tighten the screw firmly.

8.Connect the signal and power cables to the drive. The red stripe on the signal cable must face toward the center of the drive.

9.Reinstall the foam pads, fans (see “Installing an Individual System Fan” on page 62) and the access cover using the original screws.

10.Run the SSU or BIOS Setup to specify that the diskette drive is installed in the system (“Modifying Resources” on page 114 or “Main Menu” on page 85).

Drive Cabling Considerations

Excluding the diskette drive, there are two types of devices that can be installed in the server; IDE devices and SCSI devices. This section covers cabling consideration for both types of devices. These cable considerations apply to any devices using the IDE or narrow SCSI controllers.

The number of devices you can install depends on:•The number supported by the bus•The number of physical drive bays available•The combination of SCSI and IDE devices
