Working with Drives in Bays 5 and 6

Notes - Read "Working with Drives in Bays 1 through 4". - Read the documentation that comes with the drive.

The following illustration identifies the server bays.

Netfinity 3000 Hard Disk Drive-Installation Instructions
This information is being provided to ensure proper installation of hard disk drives in bays 5 and 6. This information replaces the hard disk drive-installation instructions in the Working with Drives in Bays 5 and 6 section of your Netfinity 3000 User's Handbook.

If you are installing a hard disk drive in bay 5 or 6, use the following procedure.
1. Review the Safety Information and Installing Options sections of your Netfinity 3000 User's Handbook.
2. If there is a hard disk drive in bay 5 or 6, disconnect the cable from the drive in that bay.
3. Remove the rear (lower) drive cage as described in the Installing or Removing Internal Drives section of your Netfinity 3000 User's Handbook.
4. When you are installing a drive, turn the drive upside down and slide it into the desired bay. This ensures that the drive connectors will properly align with and attach to the cable connectors. Secure the drive with the screws. See the illustration below.
Note: When using the rubber grommets (washers) to attach the drive to the rear drive cage, you must use the screws provided in the tray in bay 2.
5. Reinstall the rear drive cage as described in your Netfinity 3000 User's Handbook.
6. Attach the cables to the drive.

For future reference, store this Technical Update with your server manuals.
