each bay.
Express Setup and Installation 5
1. Installing Hot-Swap Hard Disk Drives
If required, use the following procedure to install a hot-swap hard disk drive in your
Netfinity 5000 server.
1Touch the static-protective bag containing the drive to any unpainted metal
surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the bag.
Note: The UltraSCSI controller and the backplane of the hot-swap bays
provide termination for the internal SCSI bus (cable) in your server.
There are no termination requirements for any SCSI devices you
install in the hot-swap bays or attach to this cable (bus).
2Remove the filler panel .1/ from one of the hot-swap bays. See the following
illustration.
For the location of the drives, see the illustrations on the following page.
3Insert the drive .2/ into the bay.
Ensure that the tray handle .3/ on the drive is in the open position
(perpendicular to the drive).
4Slide the drive assembly into the bay until it connects to the backplane; then,
move the handle to the locked (closed) position.
