Installing or Removing Internal Drives
You can change the default ID addresses of the drives by changing the jumper
settings on the DASD backplane. See “SCSI Jumpers” on page 173.
Termination Requirements
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 hard disk drive
bays or attach to this cable.
If you attach a SCSI cable and devices to the external SCSI connector, set the
termination for the last device on that SCSI cable to Enabled. Refer to the
instructions that come with the SCSI device for more information about termination.
Preinstallation Steps (All Bays)
Before you begin, be sure you have:
Read “Electrical Safety” on page 41 and “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices”
on page 42.
Read the documentation that comes with the option.
Read “Termination Requirements.”
Verified that you have all cables, drive trays, and any other equipment
specified in the documentation that comes with the internal drive.
Before you can install drives in your Netfinity 5000, you might need to perform
certain preinstallation activities. Some of the steps are required only during the
initial installation of an option.
1. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive. (Refer to Table 1 on
page 57 for the drive types and sizes available for each bay.)
