SCSI/IDE Drive Installation
1. Mounting a SCSI/IDE drive in a drive carrier:
The SCSI/IDE 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/IDE drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers
without SCSI/IDE drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new
SCSI/IDE 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 four screws, as shown in Figure
6-4.
!
Important: Regardless of how many SCSI/IDE hard drives
are installed, all SCSI/IDE drive carriers must remain in the
drive bays for proper airflow.
6113L-8 only: Use caution when working around the SCSI
backplane. Do not touch the backplane with any metal ob-
jects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane or
obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airflow.
