IBM Netfinity 7100 User's Reference Manual page 91

• Your server supports ten 1-inch (26 mm) slim-high or seven 1.6-inch (42 mm)
half-high, 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays.
• The hot-swap bays connect to a hard disk drive (HDD) backplane. The backplane
is a printed circuit board behind the bays.
Some drives have a special interface called small computer system interface, or SCSI.
Using this interface, you can attach multiple drives to a single SCSI controller.
Notes:
1. Any information about SCSI drives also applies to other SCSI devices, such as
scanners and printers.
2. If you plan to install both internal and external SCSI devices, you must follow the
instructions in "Connecting external options" on page 94, in addition to the
instructions in this section.
An additional 16-bit, two-drop SCSI cable comes with your server. It is located in the
bottom of the server media bay and is restrained with a cable clamp.
If you want to install SCSI devices in the removable media bays:
1. Locate the internal SCSI connector on the power backplane.
2. Use the 16-bit two-drop SCSI cable located in the bottom of the server media bay.
3. Connect the SCSI device(s) in the removable media bay to the internal SCSI
connector on the power backplane.
Note: If you are installing a 5.25-inch device, you can obtain an optional SCSI
adapter to control the SCSI hot-swap backplane.
