Connecting Peripherals
The system unit, keyboard, mouse, and monitor constitute the basic system. Before connecting any other
peripherals, connect these basic peripherals first to test if the system is running properly.
NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all illustrations showed in this section show the Altos R710 server chassis.
Hard Disk Drives
The Altos R710 Server system ships with drive brackets for installing five SCSI Hard Disk Drives for hot-swap
configuration available. The left drive bay can be converted to be used as a floppy bay. To use the bay for a
floppy drive, the AXXFLOPHDDTRAY accessory kit must be used.
NOTE: Drives can consume up to 17 watts of power each. Drives must be specified to run at a maximum
ambient temperature of 45 Celsius degrees.
Floppy/CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Slimline Cages
The slimline drive cages can be used with one of the optional floppy / CD-ROM / DVD-ROM drives. One
slimeline cage is included with your server chassis for installing either a slimline CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
and one is included for installing a slimline floppy drive. The drives must be purchased separately.
The floppy drive / CD-ROM / DVD-ROM cage can be inserted or removed only when system power is turned
off. Drives in the slimline cage are NOT hot swappable.
