The disk drive bay may contain up to four JBOD (for “just a bunch of disks”) or RAID SCA
SCSI disk drives. JBOD disks are controlled by a Symbios dual-channel Low Voltage
Differential Signaling (LVDS) SCSI adapter. If your system is configured for RAID, a single-
channel Mylex RAID controller provides RAID capabilities such as disk striping, mirroring,
and redundancy.
Each disk drive installed in the disk drive bay has a label affixed to the front. The left side of
the disk drive label identifies the disk drive size (in GB). The label has blank spaces for the
numbers to indicate the adapter (ADP), the channel (CH), and the identification number (ID).
Standard disk drives include values for the adapter, channel, and identification number filled
in. Additional disk drives have a blank label which you must complete after installation.
NOTE
A labeling sheet is included in the system parts box.
