1. SCSI and IDE drive trays differ in size and structure. Make sure of
the type of HDD trays that came with your chassis before buying
hard disks.
2. If your motherboard does not have an onboard SCSI interface, you
need to install a SCSI expansion card into one of the PCI slots.
Use a SCSI cable to connect the card to the SCSI backplane board
to which the hard disks are connected.
2.5.1 SCSI hard disk
To install a SCSI hard disk drive:
1. Release an HDD tray by
pushing the tray lock upward
2. Pull down the tray lever until the
tray pops out slightly, indicating
that it is released.
