Internal drive bays

Tower model
Rack model
Different types of drives allow your system to read multiple types of media and store
more data. Several types of drives are available, such as:
• Diskette (already installed)
• Hard disk
• CD-ROM (already installed)
• Tape, including DLT
Internal drives are installed in bays. The bays of the xSeries 150 are in the front of the
server, as shown in the following illustrations.
Attention: If you are going to install additional drives in the non-hot-swap bays, you
must install the power supply backplane option and additional power supplies.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
