Installing a CDROM Drive
To install or replace a CDROM drive, refer to Figure 5-12 and follow these steps:
1. Before you can install the CDROM drive, you must first remove the tape drive
and tape drive bracket. See "Removing a Tape Drive" earlier in this section.
2. If you have not done so already, remove the drive you want to replace.
3. Set the SCSI ID on the replacement drive to the same ID as the original drive. If
you are installing a drive, set the SCSI drive ID to 4. The ID 4 is the default
device ID for a CDROM drive. See the section "Determining SCSI Storage
Device IDs" in Chapter 6, "Configuring" for more information.
4. Slide the drive into the front of the bay until its screw holes are aligned with the
drive bracket holes.
5. Insert two screws into each side of the CDROM drive.
6. Connect the power cable and the data cable to the back of the drive.
7. If necessary, reinstall the tape drive. See "Installing a Tape Drive" earlier in this
section.
8. Screw in the holding clip that secures the drives from on top.
Removing a CDROM Drive
Reverse the order of steps 4 to 8 in the installation procedure to remove the CDROM
drive.
Installing a StorageWorks Disk Drive
If your StorageWorks disk drives are plugged into a RAID controller, you can hot
swap drives, that is, you can install or replace drives without first shutting down the
operating system or turning off the system hardware. For more information, see the
StorageWorks RAID Array 200 Subsystem Family Installation and Configuration
Guide (EK-SWRA2-IG).
