Dell PowerEdge 2550 - Manual (Page 77)

6. Slide the peripheral cage toward the back of the system approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch), and then lift the peripheral cage upward and set it aside.
7. Remove the plastic insert from the front of the peripheral cage.
From the inside of the chassis, push outward on the center of the insert to release the insert from the chassis.
8. Slide the new drive into the peripheral cage until it snaps securely into place.
If necessary, you can adjust the drive's alignment by repositioning one or both rails.
9. Lower the peripheral cage back into the chassis, and then slide the cage forward into position.
Be careful to not trap power or interface cables underneath the cage when reinstalling it.
10. Secure the peripheral cage by tightening the thumbscrew at the back corner of the cage.
11. Connect the tape drive or other peripheral SCSI device to the SCSI cable provided with the device. Attach the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI
interface connector SCSIB (Channel B) on the system board.
12. Reconnect the power cable, cooling fan wiring harness, and interposer board interface cable to the interposer board.
13. Plug the DC power cable connector into the 4-pin power input connector on the back of the SCSI device.
14. Check all cable connections that may have been loosened during this procedure. Arrange cables so that they will not catch on the system doors or block
the airflow of the fans or cooling vents.
15. Close the system doors.
16. Reconnect the system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn them on.
17. Test the device. To test a tape drive, see the documentation for the tape drive software to perform a tape drive backup and verification test.
Installing a Tape Drive That Uses a Controller Card
Tape drives that require their own separate controller cards are shipped with the controller card and an interface cable.
To install the drive in the peripheral bay, perform the following steps.
1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.
2. Prepare the controller card and drive for installation.
Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the back of the system, unpack the drive and controller card, and compare the jumper and
switch settings with those in the drive documentation. (See "
SCSI Configuration Information " for information on setting the drive's SCSI ID number and
enabling termination, if required.) Change any settings necessary for this system's configuration.
3. If the drive does not already have drive rails attached, attach a drive rail to each side of the drive with a screw in each of the lower slotted screw holes
on the drive rail.
4. Open the system doors (see " Opening the System Doors " in "Checking Inside the System").
WARNING: Before you perform the procedures in this section, you must turn off the system and disconnect it from its AC power source. For more
information, see "
Safety First—For You and Your Computer " in "Checking Inside the System."
WARNING: See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety instructions in the System Information document.
