3 Installing Hardware Accessories
This section describes how to physically install the SCSI mass storage devices in
the storage system. There are two categories of mass storage devices—the
hot-swap modules and the SCSI devices that can be installed in the SCSI device
shelves.
Installing Hot-Swap Storage Devices
Only SCA-2 compliant, single-ended, Fast SCSI-2, hot-swap disk modules can be
installed in the hot-swap subsystem.
CAUTION Mass storage devices are susceptible to mechanical shock and can
be damaged by a drop as small as a quarter of an inch.
Unpacking a Hot-Swap Disk Module
The drives have shipping plugs to ensure the hot-swap disk modules are not
damaged while the drives are transported. Remove and save this plug before
using the device. If you plan to reship your system, reinstall the shipping plug as
shown in Figure 3-1.
