3 1/2-Inch SCSI Hard Drive Bay Location

Each optional hard drive must be mounted in a plastic hard disk tray, and the tray and hard drive installed in the drive bay. The SCA connector on the back of the drive plugs into the system’s internal SCSI backplane. The connector connects the SCSI drive power and data lines to the SCSI backplane. The backplane also acts as the termination point for all installed SCSI hard drives and sets the hard drive IDs automatically.

The following paragraphs include procedures for installing optional SCSI hard drives and for hot-swapping a failed SCSI hard drive.
