of the applicable signal cable into the back of the drive and make sure that the
other end of this cable is connected into the applicable IDE or SCSI connector
on the system board.

Installing a SCSI or SATA drive in bay 4, 5, or 6
Some models come with non-hot-swap SCSI hard disk drives or Serial ATA (SATA)
hard disk drives. Before you install a hard disk drive in bays 4, 5, and 6, read the
following information:
v Read the documentation that comes with the drive for cabling instructions.
v Route the cable before you install the drive. Do not block the airflow from the
fans.
v You can install up to four SCSI hard disk drives in your computer (SCSI models
only).
v Your computer supports up to two Serial ATA hard disk drives.
Note: Your computer can support a third and fourth SATA drive if you install an
optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA controller. In addition, if you install the
optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA controller to add a third and fourth drive, all
four SATA drives must then be connected to the ServeRAID-7t S-ATA
controller instead of the system board. See the optional ServeRAID-7t
S-ATA controller documentation for cabling instructions.
If you purchase a new SATA hard drive, you will also need to purchase a
signal cable for it. IBM SATA hard drive option comes with a signal cable.
v Install hard disk drives in this sequence: bay 4, bay 5, bay 6, and then bay 3.
See “Installing a drive in bay 2 or 3” on page 32 for information about how to
install a hard disk drive in bay 3.
