SCSI Cables
The front drive bays are available for installing or connecting mass
storage SCSI devices.
Using a SCSI Cable
Select models ship with a multimode SCSI cable that supports
Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or single-ended devices. The cable
accommodates up to three SCSI devices in the front drive bay area
(UATA models do not have the SCSI cable).

For Small Form Factor models, a single device cable is the only cable
that is supported.
For additional information about installing optional SCSI devices,
refer to the documentation included with the device option kit or
