Caution!

The internal narrow SCSI interface in this system supports only single-ended SCSI devices. Connecting differential SCSI drive types to this interface can result in electrical damage to the system board and peripherals.

11.Connect a signal cable to the drive.

SCSI drive: Attach connectors on the cable to the SCSI device or devices you are installing.

IDE drive: The system board has one IDE connector. It can support an IDE signal cable up to 18 inches long. See Figure 15 on page 49 for the cable dimensions.

12.If the drive requires any other cables, connect them.

13.Close the subchassis and make sure the foam cover is properly installed, being careful not to pinch any wires or cables (see “Closing the Subchassis and Electronics Bay” on page 7).

14.Replace the access cover, see “Closing the System” on page 7.

15.Close the front door.

Removing a 5.25-inch Peripheral from the Front Bay

If you remove a device from the 5.25-inch drive bay and do not replace it with another 5.25-inch device of the same height, replace the EMI shield(s) in the drive bay to maintain the EMI and airflow characteristics of the chassis.

To Remove a 5.25-inch Device

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions in “Static Electricity Precautions” on page 2.

2.Open the front door by rotating its right side out and to the left.

3.Remove the access panel, see “Opening the System” on page 3.

4.Open the subchassis (see “Opening the Subchassis and Electronics Bay” on page 5) to gain access to the back of the 5.25-inch drive bay.

5.Disconnect the power and signal cables from the drive.
