Mounting Hardware

 Drives come in a variety of heights. You can install half-high drives that are less than 41.3 mm (1.6 in.) high in any of the bays.  Drives that are greater than 41.3 mm (1.6 in.) high (full-high) can be installed in bay C or bay D. Bays C and D can each hold two half-high drives or one full-high drive. 

          Different types of hardware (slides, rails, and trays) are used to install a drive in a bay.  The type and size of the drive, as well as where it is to be installed, determine what hardware you will need when installing it. 

          Cover plates (sometimes called bezels) cover the front of each installed drive. If you install a drive that uses removable media (diskette, tape, optical disc, or CD), you will need to change the cover plate. 



Installing Floppy Drives

Install the diskette drive in bay A or B: 
Note:  The figures that accompany these steps show the installation occurring in bay A.  These instructions also apply to bay B. 
   a. If a flat cable is folded inside bay A, unfold it and route it along the back of the bays. 
   b. Position the drive so the connector is facing the rear of the server. 
   c. Align the drive with the guides on the bottom of the bay. 
   d. Slide the drive into the bay until it stops. 


3.  Locate the connector on the flat cable directly behind the bay you are using (A or B), and connect it to the back of the drive. 
Note:  For bay A, use the middle connector (labeled "P2-1"). For bay B, use the bottom connector (labeled "P2-0").  FWIW, P2-2 is for a floppy tape backup OR for a 5.25" floppy.

My 9595s are stamped 10G4769.

NOTE: The drive may be installed in the tray with the mounting screw flange pointed down (as pictured)  or pointed up. This is helpful if you have a mix of 1.6" and 1" drives to install.
