Installing a Hard Disk Drive

This procedure explains how to install your hard disk drive in the slot that has been preassigned SCSI ID 5. On internal hard disk drives, the slot determines the addressing. There are no cables required when installing a hard disk drive. Note that to install the hard disk drive, your computer must be turned off.

NOTE	If you are installing a hard disk drive, you will need to mount it and
	create a file system on it. This should be done after you have installed
	the hard disk drive.
	To mount a hard disk drive and create a file system on it use the
	procedure provided in the section “Adding a Hard Disk Drive as a File
	System Using SAM” found in this chapter.

1.Open the front panel of your system unit using the instructions found in the section “Opening the System Unit Front Panel.” In the lower-right corner of the system unit as you face it, there are two hard drive slots. The slot on the right is the one discussed in this section. See Figure 5-37.
