7. Slide the new drive into its bay until it snaps securely into place.
If necessary, you can adjust drive alignment by repositioning one or both rails.
8. Plug the DC power cable connector into the 4-pin power input connector on the back of the drive.
9. Select the connector on the SCSI cable that most easily reaches the new device, and press the interface cable connector firmly onto the drive's
interface connector.
10. If you moved other drives in step 4, snap them back into place.
11. Check all cable connections that may have been loosened during this procedure. Arrange cables so that they will not catch on the computer covers or
block the airflow of the fans or cooling vents.
12. If a front-panel insert on the front-bezel blocks the bay in which you installed the drive, remove the insert.
13. Replace the front bezel and right-side cover.
14. Reconnect your system and peripherals to their power sources, and turn them on.
15. Test the devices.
16. To test a SCSI tape drive, refer to the documentation for the tape drive software to perform a tape drive backup and verification test.
Installing a Tape Drive That Uses a Controller Card
Tape drives that require their own separate controller cards are shipped with the controller card and an interface cable.
1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.
2. Prepare the controller card and drive for installation.
3. Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the back of the system, unpack the drive and controller card, and compare the jumper and
switch settings with those in the drive documentation.
4. Change any settings necessary for this system's configuration.
5. Remove the front bezel (see " Removing the Front Bezel " in "Troubleshooting Your System").
6. Remove the right-side cover (see " Removing the Side Covers " in "Troubleshooting Your System").
7. Remove the PCI cooling shroud (see " Removing the PCI Cooling Shroud " in "Installing System Board Options").

the front of the chassis.
9. Remove the metal insert from the drive bay.
10. Slide the new drive into its bay until it snaps securely into place.
If necessary, you can adjust drive alignment by repositioning one or both rails.
11. Determine which DC power cable connector to use, and then plug the DC power cable connector into the 4-pin power input connector on the back of
the drive.
12. Install the controller card in an expansion slot (see " Installing an Expansion Card ").
13. Attach the interface cable that came with the drive kit to the interface connector on the back of the drive.
