9.1.1 Removing a Disk Drive

    1. Shut down the system.

    See Section 6.1, "Powering Off the System."

    2. Remove the cover and attach a wrist strap.

    See Chapter 7, "Internal Access."

    3. Determine which drive you need to remove.

    See Figure 9-1.

    Figure 9-1 Disk Drive Positions

    4. Slide the disk drive toward the rear of the chassis to unseat the four grommets (two on each side) from the drive mounts.

    See Figure 9-2.

    Figure 9-2 Removing a Disk Drive

    5. Disconnect the power and internal disk connectors from the drive.

    See Figure 9-2.

    6. Lift out the disk drive and place it on an antistatic surface.
    7. If you have a disk drive with just four grommets installed, remove the four grommets from the drive.

    See Figure 9-3. You will need to install these grommets on the new drive.

    Figure 9-3 Location of Disk Drive Grommets

    8. If you have a disk drive with a drive bracket installed, remove the six screws and the screw-in grommets.

    See Figure 9-4. You will need to install the bracket, screws, and the screw-in grommets on the replacement drive.

    Figure 9-4 Removing the Disk Drive Bracket

9.1.2 Setting Disk Drive Jumpers

    1. Place the replacement drive on the antistatic bag the drive was shipped in.
    2. Set the SCSI ID and configuration jumper settings.

    Set the SCSI ID jumper settings according to the drive position. For the 424 Mbyte disk drive, see Figure 9-5, Table 9-1, and Table 9-2. For the 535 Mbyte disk drive see Figure 9-6, Table 9-3, Table 9-4, and Table 9-5.

    For the 1.05 Gbyte disk drive, see Figure 9-7, Table 9-6, Table 9-7, and Table 9-8. For the Low Profile 1.05 Gbyte disk drive see Figure 9-8, Figure 9-9, Table 9-9, Table 9-10, and Table 9-11.

    For the 2.1 Gbyte disk drive, see Figure 9-10, Table 9-12, Table 9-13, and Table 9-14.

    Figure 9-5 SCSI Address and Configuration Jumper Settings of 424 Mbyte Disk Drives

    SCSI target 3 and 1 are the pre-set SCSI addresses for the disk drives. With the SunOS 4.1.3 operating system, you can assign SCSI address 0, 1, 2, or 3. With Solaris 2.1 and later operating system releases, you can assign SCSI addresses 0 through 6.

9.1.3 Completing the Installation

    1. If you are installing a drive without a bracket, attach the four grommets (two on each side) to the drive. Then go to step 3.

    See Figure 9-11.

    Figure 9-11 Grommets on the 424 Mbyte Disk Drive

    2. If you are installing a drive with a bracket and grommets, complete steps a through d.

    See Figure 9-12.

      a. Install the screw-in grommets and split washers on each side of the drive rear (away from the connector).
      b. Position the new mounting bracket over the drive (near the connector) and align the screw slots over the drive circuit board.
      c. Secure the bracket to the drive sides. Insert one Phillips-head screw on each side of the bracket.
      d. Secure the bracket base to the drive bottom (board side) with four Phillips-head screws.

    Figure 9-12 Removing or Installing the 1.05 Gbyte Disk Drive Bracket

    3. Unfold the internal disk cable from the holding clips and straighten it and the power harness out.

    See Figure 9-13. Make sure the DC power harness is long enough to reach the back of the chassis. If it is not, try to get more slack by working more of the cable out from the clips in the base of the chassis.

    Figure 9-13 Positioning the Cables to the Disk Drive

    4. Hold the drive in one hand and attach both the internal disk cable connector and the DC power harness connector to the drive with the other hand.

    See Figure 9-14.

    Figure 9-14 Connecting a Disk Drive and the Internal Cables

    5. Lower the drive into the chassis. Align the four grommets into the drive mounts. Firmly seat the grommets by moving the drive forward towards the connectors.

    See Figure 9-15.

    Figure 9-15 Seating the Disk Drive Into the Drive Mounts

    6. If you are installing a 535 Mbyte disk drive, a1.05 Gbyte disk drive, or a 2.1 Gbyte disk drive firmly seat the connector. With one hand at the back of the drive and the other hand on the back of the connector, push them together to firmly seat the connector in an 90-degree upright position.

    See Figure 9-16. If it is not, repeat steps 5 and 6.

Note - If the drive isn't seated properly, the cover will not close correctly.

    Figure 9-16 Firmly Seating the Connector to the 1.05 Gbyte Disk Drive

    7. Detach the wrist strap and replace the cover.

    See Chapter 7, "Internal Access."

    8. If you have one or more external SCSI devices daisy-chained to your system, install a regulated SCSI terminator on the last device in the daisy- chain.

    The regulated SCSI terminator has the word "REGULATED" stamped on it.

    See Figure 9-17. This frees the grommets from the drive mounts.

    Figure 9-17 Removing the Diskette Drive

    5. Disconnect the DC power and internal disk connectors from the diskette drive.

    See Figure 9-17.

    6. Lift the diskette drive out. Place it on an antistatic surface.

    See Figure 9-18.

    Figure 9-18 Diskette Drive Switch Settings

    2. Hold the diskette drive in one hand. With the other hand, connect the DC power and data connectors to the diskette drive.

    The connectors are keyed so that they will fit only one way. See
    Figure 9-19.

    3. Install the diskette drive.
      a. Align the three grommets into the drive mounts.
      b. Slide the diskette drive toward the center of the chassis.

      The three grommets should sit tightly in the drive mounts.

    Figure 9-19 Installing the Diskette Drive

      c. Insert the two plastic tabs into the openings in the drive mounts.

      See Figure 9-20.

    Figure 9-20 Inserting the Plastic Tabs into the Diskette Drive Mounts

Note - If you cannot insert the tabs, push the diskette drive into the chassis until the grommets are securely seated in the drive mounts. When this step is performed properly, you will not be able to see the diskette drive grommets.

    4. Detach the wrist strap and replace the cover.

    See Chapter 7, "Internal Access."

Note - If the cover does not close, the diskette drive is not seated correctly in the drive mounts.
