Preparing to Install Your Storage Device
This section describes information that you need to consider and procedures
that you need to perform before installing any storage device.
Configuring your Storage Device
Table 13 lists the recommended SCSI IDs for internal storage devices. If an
existing device already uses one of the suggested IDs, select an alternate ID.
Set the jumpers and SCSI IDs according to the installation instructions that
came with your device.
Determining Your Storage Devices Position
Each storage device is restricted as to where in the storage tray it may be
installed. Before installing a storage device, use Figure 21 and Table 14 to
determine which disk tray position is correct for your device.
Figure 21 shows the storage device positions in the disk tray. Table 14 lists
what devices are supported in the different disk tray positions. The numbers
in the table’s left column refer to the position numbers in Figure 21.
