Installing an Optical or Tape Drive

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You

should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered
by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the
product.

1 Unpack the drive and prepare it for installation. For instructions, see the

documentation that accompanied the drive.

If you are installing a SCSI tape drive, you must have a SCSI controller
card installed (see "Installing an Expansion Card" on page 78) and
configure the tape drive according to the documentation that came with
the tape drive.

NOTE:

Each device attached to a SCSI host adapter must have a unique SCSI

ID number (narrow SCSI devices use IDs 0 to 7; wide SCSI devices use IDs
from 0 to 15). Set the drive’s SCSI ID to avoid conflicts with other devices on
the SCSI bus. For the default SCSI ID setting, see the documentation provided
with the drive.

NOTE:

There is no requirement that SCSI ID numbers be assigned

sequentially or that devices be attached to the cable in order by ID number.

NOTE:

SCSI logic requires that the two devices at opposite ends of a SCSI

chain be terminated and that all devices in between be unterminated.
Therefore, you enable the tape drive’s termination if it is the last device in a
chain of devices (or sole device) connected to the SCSI controller.

2 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect

the system from the electrical outlet.

3 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 57.
4 Remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 59.
5 If another drive is installed, remove it (see "Removing an Optical or Tape

Drive" on page 63) and remove the three shoulder screws to attach to the
new drive. See Figure 3-8.

6 If the drive bay is empty, remove the insert on the front bezel. See

"Removing Front Bezel Insert" on page 60.

7 Remove the two shoulder screws from the EMI filler panel and attach

them to the new drive. See Figure 3-8.
