Guidelines for Installing Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drives

Follow these guidelines when adding SCSI hard drives:

• A maximum of four 1-inch Ultra3 or Ultra320 SCSI drives may be added in the

media module. Ultra320 SCSI hard drives will run at Ultra3 speeds unless you
install an optional Ultra320 Array Controller and the Twisted Pair Cable Array
Bypass kit included with the system.

• If only one SCSI hard drive is used, install it in bay 0. If several drives are

installed, be sure that you install the system boot drive in bay 0.

• To maintain proper system cooling, install blanking panels in unused drive bays.

CAUTION: If a hard drive is removed, you must add a blanking panel for static
immunity and airflow integrity.

The server has one embedded Smart Array 5i Controller. The integrated controller is
hardwired through an Array Enabler board to the four SCSI hard drive bays.
