Removing and Installing a SCSI Hard-
Disk Drive
The following subsections describe how to remove or
install (SCSI) hard-disk drive carriers in the computer's
internal drive bays.
Removing a SCSI Hard-Disk Drive
Remove a SCSI hard-disk drive from an internal drive
bay as follows:
1.
If a PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller
host adapter card is not installed in the system,
turn off the system.
2.
Release the carrier by pulling down the plastic
drive handle. Slide the carrier toward you until it
is free of the drive bay.
Installing a SCSI Hard Disk Drive
Install a SCSI hard-disk drive in an internal drive bay as
follows:
1.
If a PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller
host adapter card is not installed in the computer,
turn off the system.
2.
Position the drive with its carrier side down, and
insert it, connector end first, into the bay (Fig-
ure 6-2).
3.
Holding the drive carrier by its sides, slide the
drive into the bay.
4.
When the pins on the drive carrier handle contact
the drive bay, lift the handle to draw the drive
carrier into the bay and lock the drive in place.
5.
Install any required SCSI device drivers.
See Chapter 3, "Installing and Configuring SCSI
Drivers," for information.
6.
Test the SCSI devices.
Run the SCSI Devices Test Group in the system
diagnostics. See Chapter 6, "Running the System
Diagnostics," in the Installation and Troubleshoot-
ing Guide for information.
Figure 6-2. Installing a SCSI Hard-Disk Drive
Removing and Installing a SCSI Hard-
Disk Drive With the System Running
If the PowerEdge 4100 system has a PowerEdge Expand-
able RAID Controller host adapter card installed and
connected to the SCSI backplane, you can remove and
insert SCSI hard-disk drives while the system is running.
Before attempting to remove or insert a drive while the
system is running, see the documentation for the Power-
Edge Expandable RAID Controller host adapter to ensure
that the host adapter is configured correctly to support
drive removal and insertion.
CAUTION: Removing and installing SCSI hard-
disk drives with the system running is not
supported for systems without a PowerEdge Expand-
able RAID Controller host adapter. Removing a drive
in this situation will result in a loss of data.
