SCSI Hard Disk Drives

The system supports a variety of SCSI devices. As shipped from the 
supplier, the system might contain no hard disk drives. Contact your sales 
representative or dealer for a list of approved SCSI devices. If you install 
10,000 rpm SCSI hard drives, you must install heat sinks on the drives and 
additional fans in the chassis. See the sections below for specific 
instructions.

Installing Heatsinks on High-Power Drives

If you plan to use SCSI drives whose power exceeds 15 watts, you must 
install heatsinks on those drives. 

1.

Position each heatsink (Figure 19) so that the three screw holes in the 
heatsink align with the corresponding holes in the hard drive. The 
holes are placed so that you can position the heatsink in only one way: 
with the fins extending along the side and the top of the hard drive.

To Install Heatsinks on Hard Drives

Electrostatic discharge 
(ESD) can damage disk 
drives and other 
components. The server can 
withstand normal levels of 
ESD while you hot-swap 
hard disk drives. Performing 
all procedures in this manual 
at an ESD-protected 
workstation. If one is not 
available, wear an antistatic 
wrist strap attached to 
chassis ground when 
handling components.

If you install high-power 
drives, you must also install 
additional system fans. See 
“Installing Fans for High-
Power Drives” on page 57.
