Drives
There are several types of drives and similar devices that can be installed in
the server.
Preparing to replace or add a drive
One 3.5-inch diskette drive, at least one 1-inch high 3.5-inch hot-swap hard
drive, and one slimline CD drive are included with the server. You can add
up to four additional 3.5-inch hot-swap drives for a total of five hot-swap
drives. You may also add one 5.25-inch device.
As you prepare to install drives, keep the following in mind:
■
If you remove a drive, place it in an antistatic bag or container.
■
Before you install a drive, see the drive documentation for information
on configuring the drive, setting any jumpers on the drive, and attaching
cables to the drive.
■
If you are installing a drive that uses an add-in controller, install the
expansion card before you install the drive.
■
You may need to configure the drives you install using the BIOS (Basic
Input/Output System) Setup utility or the SCSISelect utility. Press F2 at
start up to open the BIOS Setup utility or press C
TRL
+A to enter the
SCSISelect utility.
