Installing Hot–Plug SCSI Disk Drives
Notes:
1. A six–position disk drive bay is required for hot–plugging of disk drives.
2. Disk drives for the two–position drive bay cannot be installed with the power on. See
”Installing Non–Hot–Plug Media Drives” on page 3-43.
Review the information in ”Disk Drive Options” on page 3-22 before installing a disk drive.
1. If you have not already done so, remove the front cover as described in ”Removing the
Covers” on page 3-4.
2. If a six–position disk drive bay is not installed, see ”Installing Internal Disk Drive Bays” on
page 3-34.
3. Determine the bay in which you are installing the new disk drive. Then remove the cover
from the bay.
4. Remove the disk drive from its protective packaging and open the drive latch handle.
5. Install the disk drive in the drive slot. Align the disk drive with the drive slot rails, and
slide the disk drive into the slot until it contacts the backplane at the rear of the drive bay.
The drive should be in far enough for the latch handle to engage the latch.
6. Push the disk drive lever up and to the rear to lock the disk drive.
