Installing Internal Drives
Installing a Drive in Bay B
Before you begin:
Be sure you have:
Removed the side cover (see “Preparing to Install Options”
on page 163).
Prepared the drive for installation (see “Preinstallation Steps
(All Bays)” on page 204).
The SCSI cabling that is supplied with your server supports a
maximum of seven internal SCSI drives (including those in bay B
and bank C, and the CD-ROM drive in bay A).
If you are installing a SCSI drive in bay B, and bank C contains six
drives, you must install an additional SCSI cable, or remove a drive
from bank C as described in “Removing a Drive from Bank C, D, or
E” on page 245. If you remove a drive from bank C, remove one of
the drives that has a low-number ID, starting with the drive in bank
C, bay 1 (SCSI ID 0).
You can connect the drives in bay B to bank C or bank D.
However, when you install slow devices such as tape drives in bay
B, performance of the drives in bank C or D is affected. You might
choose to connect these devices to a separate SCSI-2 adapter.
