Disk drive locations and service indicators for the 5786, 5787, 7031-D24, and 7031-T24 SCSI disk-drive enclosures

Learn about the disk drive locations and where the service indicators are located for your disk-drive enclosure.

The availability of disk drive locations depends on the number of SCSI interface cards installed in the SCSI disk-drive enclosure. If the next available disk drive position is the first slot in a disk-drive enclosure, such as D21, D26, or D46, look at the disk drive controller to verify that the enclosure is connected to a SCSI bus port. The controller end of the cable is clearly labeled with the disk-drive enclosure to which it connects. If the enclosure is not connected to a disk drive controller, you must either install the disk drive in a different disk-drive enclosure or connect the enclosure to a SCSI bus port on a disk drive controller. You might need to add a disk drive controller before you can add disk drives to the expansion unit.
