Detecting a SCSI drive (SAF-TE)
DEFINITION: SAF-TE (SCSI Accessed Fault Tolerant Enclosure) is a
standardized alert detection and status reporting system using SCSI as the
underlying transport mechanism.
The SAF-TE specification allows for the enclosure to communicate its status
through the SCSI bus to a software agent resident in the server, which can then
send out an appropriate notification. These notifications include:
Detection of drive presence, and
Conditioning of a drive slot for insertion/removal.
SCSI termination
The built-in SCSI bus is terminated at the SCSI controller and CD-ROM drive.
When installing 5.25-inch internal devices, set their terminators to disabled.
The CD-ROM drive should be the last device connected on the SCSI chain.
Removing a device bay spacer
Spacers are used to keep dust and dirt out of the server. To remove a spacer:
1 Remove the device bay bezel by depressing the tab on the left side and
removing the bezel.
