The 5.25-inch drive bays can accommodate any of the following types of half-height
drives:
A CD-ROM or tape drive that uses the secondary EIDE interface or the second-
ary SCSI interface on the system board
Any 5.25-inch device that uses its own controller card
NOTE: For information on configuring, connecting, and installing SCSI drives, see
“Installing SCSI Devices” found later in this chapter.
To install a drive in a 5.25-inch drive bay, follow these steps:
Check the documentation that accompanied the drive to verify that the drive is
configured for your computer system. Change any settings necessary for your
configuration.
If you are installing an EIDE CD-ROM or EIDE tape drive, configure the drive for
the cable select setting.
If you are installing a SCSI device, make sure the device has termination disabled.
See “Installing SCSI Devices” found later in this chapter.
Squeeze the metal tabs that extend from each side of the drive bracket toward
each other, and pull the bracket out of the bay (see Figure 10-6).
NOTE: For easier access inside the chassis, you may want to rotate the power
supply out of the way temporarily. To do so, see “Rotating the Power Supply
Away From the System Board” in Chapter 8.
