11. Connect a signal cable to the drive.
• SCSI drive: Attach connectors on the cable to the SCSI device or
devices you are installing.
• IDE drive: The system board has one IDE connector. It can
support an IDE signal cable up to 18 inches long. See Figure 15 on
page 49 for the cable dimensions.
12. If the drive requires any other cables, connect them.
13. Close the subchassis and make sure the foam cover is properly
installed, being careful not to pinch any wires or cables (see “Closing
the Subchassis and Electronics Bay” on page 7).
14. Replace the access cover, see “Closing the System” on page 7.
15. Close the front door.
Removing a 5.25-inch Peripheral from the Front Bay
If you remove a device from the 5.25-inch drive bay and do not replace it
with another 5.25-inch device of the same height, replace the EMI shield(s)
in the drive bay to maintain the EMI and airflow characteristics of the
chassis.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions in “Static Electricity
Precautions” on page 2.
2. Open the front door by rotating its right side out and to the left.
3. Remove the access panel, see “Opening the System” on page 3.
4. Open the subchassis (see “Opening the Subchassis and Electronics
Bay” on page 5) to gain access to the back of the 5.25-inch drive bay.
5. Disconnect the power and signal cables from the drive.
To Remove a 5.25-inch Device
Caution!
The internal narrow SCSI
interface in this system
supports only single-ended
SCSI devices. Connecting
differential SCSI drive types
to this interface can result in
electrical damage to the
system board and
peripherals.
