IBM® xSeries 220: Installation Guide
Internal drive bays
Internal drives are installed in bays. The bays of the xSeries 220 are in the front of the
server, as shown in the following illustration.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
To remove or install a drive, you must turn off the server first, unless you are
removing or installing a hot-swap hard disk drive. Diskette drives, tape drives, and
CD-ROM drives are removable-media drives. You can install removable-media drives
in bays 1, 2, 3, and 4. You can install SCSI hard disk drives in bays 4, 5, 6, and 7.
• Your server comes with a 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB diskette drive in bay 3, an integrated
drive electronics (IDE) CD-ROM drive in bay 1, and a hard disk drive in bay 7
(in some models).
• The xSeries 220 server supports five 3.5-inch drives; however, the server
supports only one diskette drive.
• The diskette drive uses 1 MB and 2 MB diskettes. For optimum use, format 1 MB
diskettes to 720 KB and format 2 MB diskettes to 1.44 MB.
• The xSeries 220 server supports two 5.25-inch drives and four SCSI hard disk
drives. The server does not support IDE hard disk drives. Some models support
hot-swap hard disk drives. Other models support only non-hot-swap hard disk
drives. Refer to the documentation that comes with your server for additional
information.
Your server supports four 1-inch (26 mm) slim, 3.5-inch SCSI hard disk drives in
the hard disk drive bays (4, 5, 6, and 7). You can install four non-hot-swap hard
disk drives in the models that have the standard non-hot-swap drive cage. You
can install three hot-swap hard disk drives and one non-hot-swap hard disk
drive in the models that come with the hot-swap drive cage. Both the non-hot-
