Figure 14. Removing the Front Panel
This will provide you access to the hot-swap banks. If you only have one
backplane installed you will be able to add or remove up to six disks.
3.2.2 Installing Drives in Bank C
The backplane for bank C comes installed in the system. The SCSI IDs are
automatically assigned by the backplane for each bank. Therefore, no jumpers are
required on the drives. If your disk drive has SCSI ID jumpers set, you must
remove them. Refer to the disk drive booklet provided with the system or with your
disk drive. Attaching SCSI address jumpers on the drive rather than using the
automatic ID supplied by the backplane is not advised.
Each drive you plan to install in bank C must have the hot-swap carrier attached. It
is recommended that you install the hard disk in the next unused position.
3.2.3 Installing Drives in Bank D
To install drives in bank D, you must first install a backplane in the back of the
bank and an SCSI-2 Fast/Wide adapter in a spare PCI expansion slot. The
installation procedure is as follows:
1. Install a backplane in the bank.
2. Install an additional PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide adapter.
3. Connect the SCSI adapter to the backplane.
4. Connect the additional power supply to the backplane.
5. Install the hot-swap drive as you would for bank C.
