SCSI Drive Installation (5010H only)
1. Mounting a SCSI drive in a drive carrier:
The SCSI drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation
and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper
airflow for the SCSI drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers
without SCSI drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new
SCSI drive, install a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board
side toward the carrier so that the mounting holes align with those in the
carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in
Figure 6-4.

Important: Regardless of how many SCSI hard drives
are installed, both SCSI drive carriers must remain in
the drive bays for proper airflow.
Use caution when working around the SCSI backplane.
Do not touch the backplane with any metal objects
and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane
or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airflow.
