Peripheral Device Bay; Hot-Swap Hard Drive Bays - NEC Express5800 series User Manual

Peripheral Device Bay

Opening the bezel door provides access to the peripheral bay. The peripheral bay
consists of four bays for removable media:
!
A 3.5-inch bay comes with a 3.5-inch diskette drive installed.
!
Three half-height bays accommodate 5.25-inch drives. One bay comes with a CD-
ROM drive installed.
Do NOT install a hard disk drive in the 5.25-inch bay, because of
cooling and electromagnetic interference (EMI) constraints.

Hot-Swap Hard Drive Bays

The server comes with one hot-swap hard drive bay installed (Figure 1-6, A). A second
bay is available as an accessory. The hard drive bays each support up to five 3.5-inch by
1.0-inch Ultra160 SCSI hard drives. The hard drive bays also support SCSI hard drive
technologies, such as Ultra2, that are slower than the Ultra160 SCSI technology.
Each hard drive is connected to an Ultra160 SCSI hot-swap backplane. The backplane
provides 80-pin SCA-2 connectors for each hard drive and accepts 15,000 RPM and
slower SCSI hard drives.
Opening the bezel door provides access to the hard drives. To allow hot swapping, each
hard drive mounts in a hard drive carrier. When a hard drive is removed from the
system, both the carrier and the hard drive are removed.
