PowerEdge 2600, can I move drives from media bay to backplane?

    I have a poweredge 2600. There are two hard drives in the media bay and two
    in the backplane. I would like to move the two drives from the media bay to
    the backplane. Is this an easy swap? I may want to put a tape drive in the
    media bay.

    The drives are all using a PERC raid controller.

    Any tips appreciated.

    Thanks,

    On-board PERC?
    You can physically move them.
    It will almost certainly scrub them and wipe the data.

    That would be a major drag. The system is functioning perfectly right now,
    but I really want to use that media bay for a tape drive. I will have to
    really look hard at the PERC info to see if I can do what I want. Any tips
    are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
