1. Up to two IDE HDDs may be installed in each HS20. The second IDE HDD cannot be added if a Fibre Channel expansion card is installed. IDE HDDs
may remain installed when a SCSI Storage Expansion Unit and up to two SCSI HDDs are added to the configuration. Either the IDE or SCSI bus can
support the boot disk. Onboard mirroring is not supported on the IDE bus.
2. Two SCSI HDDs may be installed in a SCSI Storage Expansion Unit. The integrated Ultra320 SCSI controller supports both Ultra320 and Ultra160 HDDs,
though bus speed is reduced to the rated performance of the slowest HDD. The LSI chipset supports onboard HDD mirroring when two identical SCSI
HDDs are installed.
3. Optional HS20 SCSI Storage Expansion Unit (P/N 48P7058) provides an integrated single-channel Ultra320 storage controller and two hot-swap SCSI
HDD bays. The expansion unit installs onto the HS20 by connecting the SCSI connector, then installing both units together into the BladeCenter. The
storage expansion unit mechanical is the same size as the HS20. The integrated controller supports both Ultra160 and Ultra320 HDDs, but the entire SCSI
bus will default to the slower rate (MB/second) if HDDs of different technologies are mixed on the same bus. The LSI chipset allows for two matched SCSI
HDDs to be allocated for mirroring.
4. IBM offers configure-to-order (CTO) capability for selected products through Easy Access. Although similar to machine type models (MTM), CTO
systems utilize different part numbers called Sales Building Blocks (SBB). The contents of an option may not entirely correspond to an SBB because only
a certain component within an option package may be required to configure a specific system. Additional or different configuration rules or limitations
may apply to the SBB. When a difference occurs, the rules will be documented in the tables, diagrams or footnotes.
