SCSI Drive Installation
1. Mounting a SCSI drive in a drive carrier
The SCSI drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for
the SCSI drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without SCSI
drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new SCSI drive, install
a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side toward the carrier so
that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to
the carrier with screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.

Accessing the Drive Bays
SCSI Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the
inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace SCSI drives.
Proceed to the next step for instructions.
CD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing a CD-ROM drive, you will need to gain
access to the inside of the 5013C-M8 by removing the top cover of the chassis.
Proceed to the "CD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for
instructions.
Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM drive will fit into the 5013C-M8.
