3 Installing Hardware Accessories

This section describes how to physically install the SCSI mass storage devices in the storage system. There are two categories of mass storage devices—the hot-swap modules and the SCSI devices that can be installed in the SCSI device shelves.

Installing Hot-Swap Storage Devices

Only SCA-2 compliant, single-ended, Fast SCSI-2, hot-swap disk modules can be installed in the hot-swap subsystem.

CAUTION Mass storage devices are susceptible to mechanical shock and can be damaged by a drop as small as a quarter of an inch.

Unpacking a Hot-Swap Disk Module

The drives have shipping plugs to ensure the hot-swap disk modules are not damaged while the drives are transported. Remove and save this plug before using the device. If you plan to reship your system, reinstall the shipping plug as shown in Figure 3-1.
