Preinstallation Steps (All Bays)
Note: All internal drives in this system are mounted vertically.
Attention: Caution should be used when handling all hard drives. Drives are more
likely to be damaged during installation and service. Bumping or handling drives
roughly causes latent failures. Don't stack drives and always use appropriate ESD
practices. A drop of as little as a 1/4 inch can cause latent failures. Media can take
30 seconds to spin down, so ensure at least a 30 second delay before switching off
the hot-swappable drives for removal.
1. Touch the static-protective bag containing the drive to any unpainted metal
surface on the system; then remove the drive from the bag.

2. Check the instructions that came with the drive to see if you need to set any
switches or jumpers on the drive, or if you need to attach a tray to the drive.
Notes:
Automatic SCSI ID setting applies only to hot-swappable disk drives.
Therefore, if you install a SCSI media drive (in bay B), you must set a
SCSI ID for that drive. See Table A-2 on page A-4 in Appendix A for
SCSI IDs.
Remove the terminator from the media drive you plan to install in bay
B. The cable that connects to bays A and B already has a terminator.
3. Choose the location in which you want to install the drive.
To install a disk drive, tape drive, or CD-ROM in bay A or Bay B, go to page
5-44.
To install a drive in bank C, D, or E, go to page 5-51.
