Netfinity3500 - Hardfile installation

Applicable to: World-Wide

Machines Affected : 8644 Netfinty 3500/Intellistation M Pro - All models.

The Netfinity 3500 User Guide publication indicates two different methods for installing an optional hardfile to the 8644 system. One method utilizes the small blue colored rubber grommets which are already attached to the DASD bays. The other method does not.

It is recommended that the rubber grommets should be used for all optional hardfile installations into the 8644. Use of these
grommets will reduce the amount of acoustic noise from the hardfile.

Furthermore the grommets will require a slightly longer screw to install the hardfile.

A supply of 8 screws, part number 76H3381 is installed in every Netfinity 3500/Intellistation M Pro system in a spare DASD tray which is attached to Bay 2 DASD bay (under the CD ROM).

Should the system, be a non hard disk model, a further 4 screws are supplied in a pack, p/n 01K1891 which can be found in the server country support pack.
