14 Intel SR2100 Chassis Subassembly Product Guide
Optional Peripherals
The chassis provides for a variety of peripherals that can be added to the system. The following
describes the available options.
Hot Swappable Hard Disk Drives
The chassis provides a hot swap bay for the installation of up to four 3.5-inch SCSI hard drives. A
major feature of the hot swap bay is the backplane, which powers down a drive when a failure is
detected and reported to the SCSI bus. When a new drive is inserted, the power control waits a
short time for the drive to become fully seated and then applies power to the drive. The backplane
provides signals to the control panel to indicate failure status for each drive in the bay.
Either four 1-inch high or two 1-inch high and two 1.6-inch high, 3.5-inch SCA-compatible SCSI
hard drives can be installed in the bay. Drives can consume up to 17 watts of power each. Drives
must be specified to run at a maximum ambient temperature of 50
°
C.
The chassis ships with four drive carriers for mounting the separately purchased hard drives. For
information on how to install these drives, refer to page 38.
Slim-line CD-ROM
The chassis provides a bay for installing a slim-line CD-ROM drive. For information on
installation, refer to page 40.
3.5-inch Drives
The chassis provides a bay for installing one of many types of 3.5-inch (i.e. non-hot swappable)
drives including a diskette drive, zip drive, tape drive, or an additional hard drive. The chassis
includes a drive tray for installing the device, which must be purchased separately. For information
on how to install a drive, refer to page 42.
