4. Close the hard-drive carrier handle to lock it in place.
5. Install the bezel. See " Installing the Bezel " in "Troubleshooting Your System."
6. Install any required SCSI device drivers.
7. Run the SCSI controllers tests and the hard-drive tests in the system diagnostics. See " Running the System Diagnostics ."
If the hard drive fails the hard-drive tests or does not operate properly, see " Getting Help ."
Installing the Optional SCSI Backplane Board
The optional SCSI backplane board supports front-access SCSI drives (if an optional SCSI controller card is installed in the system) or hot-plug SCSI drives (if
an optional RAID controller card is installed in the system). A new drive cage is supplied with the SCSI backplane.
1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.
2. Remove the bezel. See " Removing the Bezel " in "Troubleshooting Your System."
3. Lay the system on its right side.
4. Remove the cover. See " Removing the Cover " in "Troubleshooting Your System."
5. Remove the cooling shroud. See " Removing the Cooling Shroud " in "Installing System Components."
6. Disconnect the SATA or SCSI interface cables from the hard drives.
7. Disconnect the wiring harness from power cable connector P3.
8. Remove the hard-drive bay from the system. See Figure 7 -6 .
a. Loosen the four screws that secure the drive bay to the system.
Retain the screws to use when installing the new drive cage.
b. Slide the hard-drive bay out of the system.
9. Slide the new drive cage into the system and secure it with the four Phillips screws you removed in step 8 .
10. Install the SCSI backplane:
a. Lower the backplane into the system and align the backplane with the retention hooks on the drive cage, then fit the backplane over the
retention hooks.
b. Slide the backplane board toward the front fan about 12 mm (0.5 inch).
c. Secure the backplane with the thumbscrew. See Figure 7 -13 .

NOTICE: Do not insert a hard-drive carrier and attempt to lock its handle next to a partially installed carrier. Doing so can damage the partially installed
carrier's shield spring and make it unusable. Ensure that the adjacent drive carrier is fully installed.
CAUTION: See the Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting
against electrostatic discharge.
