Preparing to Install Your Storage Device

This section describes information that you need to consider and procedures that you need to perform before installing any storage device.

Configuring your Storage Device

Table 13 lists the recommended SCSI IDs for internal storage devices. If an existing device already uses one of the suggested IDs, select an alternate ID.

Determining Your Storage Devices Position

Each storage device is restricted as to where in the storage tray it may be installed. Before installing a storage device, use Figure 21 and Table 14 to determine which disk tray position is correct for your device.

Figure 21 shows the storage device positions in the disk tray. Table 14 lists what devices are supported in the different disk tray positions. The numbers in the table’s left column refer to the position numbers in Figure 21.
