connectors.)

Review

the

following

information

before

connecting

power

and

signal

cables

to

internal

drives:

v

The

drives

that

are

preinstalled

in

the

server

come

with

power

and

signal

cables

attached.

If

you

replace

any

drives,

remember

which

cable

is

attached

to

which

drive.

v

If

you

have

only

one

IDE

device

on

a

cable,

it

must

be

set

as

a

master

device.

v

If

two

IDE

devices

are

used

on

a

single

cable,

one

must

be

designated

as

the

master

device

and

the

other

as

the

subordinate

device;

otherwise,

the

server

might

not

recognize

some

of

the

IDE

devices.

The

master

and

subordinate

designation

is

determined

by

switch

or

jumper

settings

on

each

IDE

device.

v

When

you

route

a

cable,

make

sure

that

it

does

not

block

the

airflow

to

the

rear

of

the

drives

or

over

the

microprocessor

or

DIMMs.

The

following

cables

are

provided:

v

IDE:

The

wider

IDE

signal

cable

has

three

connectors.

One

of

these

connectors

is

attached

to

the

drive,

one

is

a

spare,

and

the

third

is

attached

to

the

IDE

connector

on

the

system

board.

The

spare

connector

can

be

used

to

connect

an

additional

IDE

optical

drive

or

tape

drive

to

the

server.

The

CD

or

DVD

drive

is

attached

to

an

ATA

100

signal

cable.

The

blue

connector

is

attached

to

the

system

board.

The

connector

on

the

other

end

is

attached

to

the

master

IDE

device.

The

middle

connector

attaches

to

an

optional

optical

device

or

tape

drive.

v

Simple-swap

SATA

(TD100

models

only):

The

combination

signal/power

cable

connects

to

the

system

board

and

simple-swap

backplate

to

provide

signal

and

power

to

the

simple-swap

SATA

drives.

Simple-swap

SATA

models

come

with

one

of

the

combination

signal/power

cable

connected

to

the

system

board

and

the

simple-swap

SATA

backplate.

v

Hot-swap

SAS

or

hot-swap

SATA:

Hot-swap

SAS

and

hot-swap

SATA

models

come

with

a

single

signal

cable

and

a

single

power

cable

that

connects

to

the

system

board

and

the

hot-swap

SAS/SATA

backplane

to

provide

signal

and

power

to

the

SAS

or

SATA

drives.

If

you

order

the

4-drive

backplane

option

kit

to

upgrade

to

eight

drives,

the

option

kit

comes

with

an

additional

signal

cable

and

power

cable.

Hot-swap

SAS

and

hot-swap

SATA

models

come

with

the

signal

cable

and

power

cable

connected

to

the

system

board

and

the

hot-swap

SAS/SATA

backplane.

Note:

When

you

install

the

optional

4-drive

backplane

option

kit

to

upgrade

to

eight

drives,

make

sure

that

you

remove

the

dust

shield

(if

one

is

present)

from

the

hot-swap

SAS/SATA

signal

connector

on

the

system

board.

Carefully

grasp

the

dust

shield

and

pull

it

out

of

the

signal

connector.
