Optional Devices
Additional storage devices, such as CD-ROMs and DATs can be installed in Device bays 7, 8 and 9.
Hitachi recommends the following configuration for any additional storage devices that you may install.
Usage: “X”; recommend, “N”; don’t install
* Internal DLT devices require their own SCSI boards and cabling. Do not use the same cabling as the Internal CD-ROM.
Some specific hard disk drive designs require electrical isolation of the drive from the chassis or other
ground paths. These drives are usually clearly labeled with this requirement on the drive. Failure to
isolate this type of drive from the ground path will result in unpredictable operation of the drive,
including severely impacted performance and data corruption.
