* The primary connector is cabled to the factory-installed CD-ROM drive. A
secondary connector is available, but requires an additional standard IDE
cable. Uses of the secondary connector is not supported by Hewlett-Packard.
** Both SCSI channels (A and B) can support up to 7 devices; however,
there are only enough internal storage shelves for 5 devices. Channel B is
typically used to install external SCSI devices. If you decide to duplex
internal drives using Channel B, you are restricted to available internal
drives.
