Your system features three internal hard-drive bays to accommodate up to three SCSI hard drives. Your system also features two peripheral bays that can be

used for an optional CD drive and a 3.5-inch diskette drive. This section contains instructions for replacing these devices as well as upgrading the system by

installing a host adapter card.

Installing SCSI Hard Drives

This subsection describes how to install and configure SCSI hard drives in the system's internal hard-drive bays and how to upgrade the system by installing

a host adapter expansion card.

The internal hard-drive bays provide space for up to three 1-inch SCSI hard drives. These drives connect to the system board through the SCSI backplane

board.

Before You Begin

SCSI hard drives are supplied in special drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive bays.



You may need to use different programs than those provided with the operating system to partition and format SCSI hard drives.



When you format a high-capacity SCSI hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Long format times for these drives are normal. A 9-

GB hard drive, for example, can take up to 2.5 hours to format.

Installing a SCSI Hard Drive



1. If the system does not have a ROMB card installed, shut down the system.

2. Remove the front bezel, if attached. See "Removing and Replacing the Optional Front Bezel" in "Troubleshooting Your System."

3. Open the hard-drive handle. See Figure7-1.

Figure 7-1. Installing a SCSI Hard Drive



NOTICE: Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the host adapter to ensure that the

host adapter is configured correctly to support hot-pluggable drive removal and insertion.

NOTE: It is recommended that you use only drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SCSI backplane board.

NOTICE: Do not turn off or reboot your system while the drive is being formatted. Doing so can cause a drive failure.

NOTICE: Hot-plug drive installation is not supported for systems without the optional ROMB card.
