Internal Disks
Mass Storage (Disk) Backplane
Internal mass storage connections (to disks) are routed on the mass storage backplane, having connectors and
termination circuitry. All disks are hot-pluggable. The HP 9000 rp7420 Server accommodates one internal,
removable media device. Therefore, only one power connector for a removable media device is required on the
mass storage backplane. The mass storage backplane incorporates a circuit that allows power to the internal
removable media device to be programmatically cycled.
