Chapter 3Installing and Configuring

NOTE

If the hard disk drive (HDD) you are planning to install already has a mounting tray

 

attached, you must remove it from the tray.

 

 

6.Install the hard disk drive as described below:

a.Place the hard disk drive into the tray and use the screws provided to secure it to the tray from the bottom.

b.Insert the hard disk drive assembly into the fourth shelf. See Figure 3-9.

The tabs should snap into place when the drive is pushed all the way into the fourth shelf.

Figure 3-9. Installing a Disk Drive (Tray Mounted)

7.Connect the data cable to the hard drive, as described below:

o If mounting a third IDE hard drive, connect the secondary (IDE-2) cable to the hard drive.

o If mounting a third SCSI hard drive, connect the SCSI cable to the drive and ensure all SCSI drives are connected to the SCSI cable.

There are five connectors on the standard SCSI cable; with four of the connectors intended for the three hard disk drives and one optional backup tape drive. The standard SCSI cable has a terminator at the end of the cable.

8.Connect the power cable to the rear of the hard disk drive.

9.Replace the upper bezel and left side cover.

10.Replace the external cables, and power cord, and then restore power to the Server.

The BIOS and SCSISelect utilities automatically detect the new hard drives (IDE or SCSI), but you should check the BIOS and SCSISelect settings and make changes as necessary.

Installing an Optional CD-ROM or DVD Drive

You may install an optional IDE CD-ROM or DVD drive in the third drive tray. The secondary IDE cable, which is connected to the IDE CD-ROM in the second drive tray, has an available connector that may be used for an IDE device in either the third or fourth tray.
