Dell PowerEdge 650 - Manual (Page 58)

l To boot from an IDE or SCSI RAID array, the drive must be connected to the RAID controller card. See the documentation that accompanied the
controller card.
Hard Drives
Your system contains up to two non-hot-pluggable IDE or SCSI hard drives. If your system contains SCSI hard drives, they must be connected to a SCSI
controller board. The cables for the SCSI hard drives are routed through openings in the backplane bracket and the PCI fan bracket, to the controller.
The procedures for removing and installing IDE or SCSI hard drives are the same.
Removing a Hard Drive
1. Open the system. See " Opening the System " in "Troubleshooting Your System."
2. Disconnect the power and interface cables from the hard drive.
The interface cables for IDE hard drives are connected to the backplane board.
The interface cables for SCSI hard drives are connected to a controller card.
3. Loosen the thumbscrew that secures the hard-drive carrier to the chassis. See Figure 7 -1 .
Figure 7-1. Removing and Installing a Hard Drive
4. Slide the hard-drive carrier backward and lift the carrier out of the chassis.
5. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws that secure the hard drive to the carrier and remove the drive from the carrier. See Figure 7 -2 .
