SCSI Hard Drive Installation Guidelines
The following guidelines should be noted when adding SCSI hard drives:
■
A maximum of four 1-inch, Ultra2 SCSI drives may be added in the
media module.
■
If only one SCSI hard drive is used, it should be installed in the lowest
numbered bay. If several drives are installed, the system boot drive
should be installed in the lowest numbered bay.
■
In order to maintain proper system cooling, blanking panel should be
installed in unused drive bays.
The server has one embedded Integrated Smart Array Controller (Ultra2
support). The integrated controller is hardwired through an array-enabler board
to the four SCSI hard drive bays and the external SCSI connector that can be
used for a tape backup unit.
