Bay 7
Note: The SCSI IDs for the hot-swap drives are printed on the hot-swap lock bar,
immediately adjacent to the hot-swap drive bays (see Table 2 on page19).
A three-drop power signal cable and a one-drop IDE cable come attached to the
CD-ROM drive. Use this power signal cable to connect the removable-media drives.
The one-drop SCSI signal cable that comes with your server will need to be
replaced with a two-drop SCSI signal cable to provide a signal connection to the
removable-media drives.
The integrated IDE controller in your server supports the connection of up to four
IDE devices.
Some server models support a maximum of six 1-inch (26 mm) slim-high, 3.5-inch,
hot-swap hard disk drives in the standard hot-swap bays. The hot-swap bays are
arranged vertically in the standard hard disk drive cage; the bay numbers are 4
through 9 (from top to bottom) with SCSI IDs of 0 through 5 (from bottom to top).
The hot-swap bays are below the removable-media drive bays.
Diskette drives, tape drives, CD-ROM, DVD/CD-RW, and DVD-ROM drives are
examples of removable-media drives. You can install removable-media drives in
bays 1, 2, and 3 only.
You can install a 3.5-in. slim-high or 5.25-in. half-high removable-media drive, such
as a tape backup, CD-RW, or DVD drive, in bay 2. The server supports half-high
DLT, SDLT, LTO, and TR7 drives. For a list of supported options for your server, go
to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/ on the World Wide Web. To install a 3.5-in.
drive in a 5.25-in. bay, you must use the 5.25-in. conversion kit, supplied with the
option.
The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are
protected by having all bays and PCI slots covered or occupied. When you install a
drive or PCI adapter, save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay or the PCI
adapter slot cover in the event you later remove the option.
