Installing Hard- Disk Drives

Dell™PowerEdge™2550SystemsInstallationandTroubleshootingGuide

This section describes how to install and configure small computer system interface (SCSI) hard-disk drives in the system's internal hard-disk drive bays.

The hard-disk drive bays provide space for up to four 1-inch hard-disk drives. (You can also install a fifth hard-disk drive in the peripheral bay by purchasing an

upgrade kit from Dell. For installation information, see the documentation provided with the upgrade kit.)

Figure10-1 illustrates the system components associated with the SCSI hard-disk drives.

Preparing SCSI Hard- Disk Drives for Installation

SCSI Hard- Disk Drive Configuration

The SCSI drives must be configured as follows:

l Disable termination on the drives. The SCSI backplane board provides termination for the SCSI bus.

l Set the SCSI ID on all drives to 0. All SCSI ID numbers for the drives are set by the SCSI backplane board, as shown in Figure10-1.

l Configure the drives so that the drive motor waits for a start unit command from the SCSI host adapter before spinning.

Partitioning and Formatting SCSI Hard- Disk Drives

You may need to use programs other than those provided with the operating system to partition and format SCSI hard-diskdrives.See"Installingand

Configuring SCSI Drivers" in the User's Guide for information and instructions.

When you format a high-capacity SCSI hard-disk drive, be sure to allow enough time for the formatting to complete. Long formatting times for these drives are

normal.

General Information on Cabling

The four connectors on the SCSI backplane board are designated as SCSI ID 0 through SCSI ID 3 (see Figure10-1). If a fifth hard-disk drive is installed in the
