Reinstall the hard-disk drives in the computer. Reconnect the computer and peripherals to the carrier release handle. 25. support.dell.com SCSI Backplane Option 7 NOTE: You can use only 1-inch hard-disk drives with an 8-bay backplane-you cannot use 1.6-inch hard-disk drives. (A 6-bay backplane can accommodate 1.6-inch or 1-inch drives.) If you install an 8-bay backplane, you need to convert the drive carriers to the 1-inch width by removing the spacer insert that fastens to each carrier adjacent to their AC power sources. Replace the front bezel and computer cover. 24. 23.
