Chapter 2. Adding Disk Drive Modules

This chapter describes how to add disk drive modules to a 2104 that is already installed

as part of your system.

You can do this only if:

1. You are authorized by your organization.

2. You have the correct disk drive module. Refer to Figure 17. This disk drive module

has, at the front, a handle 1 that can be pulled upward to open. The disk drive

module should also be the correct size. The size of a disk drive module is shown on

a label 2 at the front of the disk drive module. The label is shown in more detail in

Figure 14 on page 21.

Attention:

v Disk drive modules are fragile. Handle them with care. Keep them well away from

strong magnetic fields.

v Any slot that has no disk drive module installed must contain a dummy disk drive

module. The dummy module ensures that the correct airflow is maintained around

the disk drive modules in the other slots. If a slot remains empty, overheating might

occur.

You do not need to remove power from the 2104 when adding a disk drive module.
