Hard Drive Mirroring Configuration

The IDE subsystem of the Sun Blade 150 system has two independent channels
designated "primary" and "secondary." The system riser board has a connector for
each IDE Channel, labelled IDE1 (J504) and IDE 2 (J503).
Note – When mirroring hard drives in a Sun Blade 150 system, both hard drives
should be jumpered as "CS," "Cable Select" or "Enable Cable Select" to allow for
automatic configuration.
Two IDE cables are required for this configuration. Each cable is connected to the
riser board at one end and to a hard drive connector at the other end.
