Installing drives

server also has two additional 5.25-inch drive bays, which can accommodate two

Your server can have as many as ten, hot-swap SCSI drives in hot-swap drive bays.
As you prepare to install drives, remember:

configuring the drive, setting drive jumpers, and attaching cables.
■ You may need to configure the drives you install using the BIOS Setup utility.
■ To open the BIOS Setup utility, press any key at startup to open the System Options
menu, then select the
BIOS Setup utility and press ENTER. The BIOS Setup utility
opens.
