NOTE: Compaq does not support mixing Ultra ATA and SCSI hard drives in the same system. If
you are replacing a hard drive in by 4 or 5, it must be of the same type. If you are replacing the
Ultra ATA hard drive in bay 4 or 5 with a SCSI hard drive, you will need a SCSI device option kit
and the SCSI controller option kit. The controller option kit contains the SCSI controller and cable
that supports multiple SCSI devices. See “Installing Optional SCSI Devices” later in this chapter
for more information.
