9-4 SPARCstation 5 Model 110 Service Manual • November 1996
3. Grasp the drive bracket handle with one hand; with your other hand, hold the
drive steady. Maintain the drive in a horizontal position and lower it into the
chassis.
Be sure that the connector on the hard drive is pointed toward the SCSI backplane.
You may need to adjust the drive assembly. Make sure that the drive is properly
seated in the peripheral bracket side-rail mounting slots.
4. Push the drive bracket handle down toward the end opposite the connector until
the handle locks into the clip at the end of the drive bracket.
See
FIGURE 9-3. Do not force the handle. If the handle does not move easily into the
latched position, connecting the drive to the SCSI backplane, remove the drive and
try again.
When lowered, the drive bracket handle acts as a mechanism to engage the drive
and the SCSI backplane connector. The position of the drive in the chassis
determines its SCSI address. The lower disk drive is automatically assigned SCSI
address 3, while the upper drive (if present) is automatically assigned SCSI address
1.
Note – If a drive is not installed in the upper bay, SCSI address 1 is available for use
by an external peripheral on the SCSI bus. However, if a drive is installed later in the
upper bay, its automatic address will conflict with that of the external peripheral.
