Installing Hardware 55

2.

Use three screws (D) to attach each heatsink to the drive.

3.

To insert the drive into the hot-docking bay, you must attach a carrier
to the drive. See “Mounting a SCSI Hard Disk Drive in a Carrier” on
page 55.

Mounting a SCSI Hard Disk Drive in a Carrier

Before you can install an LVD SCA-2 SCSI hard drive in the system, you
must mount it on a drive carrier to allow easy installation into the server.

1.

Remove the 3.5-inch hard drive from its wrapper and place it on an
antistatic surface.

2.

Orient the drive so the connector is near the top surface of the drive,
then place the carrier on top of the drive.

3.

Using four screws of the correct size and length (not supplied), attach
the carrier to the drive (see Figure 20).

Figure 20: Hard Disk Drive and Carrier

To Mount a SCSI Drive on a Carrier

Note:

Faster drives, those
operating at or above
10,000 RPM, require the use
of aluminum drive carriers to
improve heat dissipation. Do
not mount these drives on
plastic carriers.
