Installing Hardware Options
When installing ATA hard drives in the server, observe the following general
guidelines:
•
•
•
•
Do not add more than two ATA devices per channel.
Always populate hard drive bays starting with the lowest ATA device number.
Configure ATA hard drives through the Cable-Select mode.
Set the jumpers on both ATA drives to Cable-Select mode. Doing so enables the
ATA cable to set a unique address, such as Device 0 or Device 1, for each hard
drive.
CAUTION: Installing unsupported hard drives may damage the system by
consuming power and generating heat in excess of the server’s operating tolerance.
This condition may result in a loss of system and/or data integrity.
CAUTION: When supporting a mixed environment of ATA drives and SCSI drives in
the server, the ATA drive must be the boot device.
ATA hard drives installed in the server appear as Devices 0 and 1, from left to right
when viewed from the front of the server. Refer to Figure 3-21.
