3.2 Installation

The requirements for installing hot-swap disk drives are not the same for all three
banks. A general requirement is that each hot-swap bank requires a separate
SCSI-2 adapter. In the case of the first bank, bank C in Figure 12 on page 43, it
uses the integrated SCSI-2 controller. Banks D and E require the installation of
one additional backplane each. These additional backplanes use the second power
supply which is provided with the F30.

3.2.1 Accessing the Hot-Swap Banks

To access the hot-swap banks, you must first remove the front cover of your
machine as shown in Figure 14 on page 45. To do this, refer to the chapter
"Installing Options" in the F30 User's Guide; then look at the section titled
"Removing the Front Covers Only." In the same order as this section describes,
you should:

1. Open and remove the door.

2. Release the front cover latch.

3. Unlock the keylock.

4. Remove the front cover.
