Using Removable Media Storage
Devices
The Sun Fire 880 system provides three mounting bays for 5.25-inch half-height
(1.6-inch) devices. One of the bays houses a digital versatile disc-read only memory
(DVD-ROM) drive, which comes standard in all system configurations. The other
two bays can be used for wide (68-pin) or narrow (50-pin) SCSI tape drives, such as
8-mm tape drives or 4-mm DDS-2 or DDS-3 tape drives. Narrow SCSI devices
require a 68-pin to 50-pin SCSI adapter (Sun part number X913A), which must be
ordered separately. You can easily convert the two bays into a single full-height bay
by removing a metal shelf divider.
