SCSI Hard-Drive Cabling Guidelines

Your system features eight standard internal hard-drive bays that accommodate up to eight SCSI hard drives. Systems with an optional RAID controller card or

optional ROMB support hot-plug SCSI drive operation.

The system's two peripheral bays can accommodate up to two 5-1/4-inch form-factor devices (such as tape drives) or an optional 1x2 SCSI backplane to

enable installation of two additional SCSI hard drives.

Installing SCSI Hard Drives

Figure7-1 shows the SCSI ID numbers of the eight standard drive bays. (SCSI ID 6 and SCSI ID 7 are reserved for use by the system's integrated SCSI host

adapter and SCSI enclosure management controller.)



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 an optional RAID controller card or optional riser card with ROMB, shut down the system.



2. Remove the front bezel, if attached. See "Opening the System" in "Troubleshooting Your System."



3. Open the hard-drive handle. See Figure7-2.

NOTICE: Before attempting to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for the optional RAID controller card or

optional ROMB to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support hot-plug 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 an optional RAID controller card or optional ROMB.
