Installing And Removing Hard Disk Drives - Fujitsu Siemens CELSIUS 4 Series Operating Manual

Installing and removing hard disk drives

Installing and removing hard disk drives
The workstation offers space for two inaccessible 3 1/2 inch drives for installation in half-height bays
(Slimline).
By using an installation frame you can also install a hard disk drive in a 5 1/4 inch drive bay (see
"Installing a hard disk drive in a 5 1/4-inch drive bay").
IDE drives
By default four IDE drives are supported. Ideally hard disks are connected to IDE port 1, and
accessible drives, for example CD-ROMs, to IDE port 2 (see also the Technical Manual for the
system board).
SCSI drives
If you want to install a SCSI drive, you require a SCSI controller and a SCSI cable. Note that:
·
Not every SCSI controller is suitable for operating SCSI hard disks.
·
Each SCSI device must be assigned its own SCSI ID.
·
The SCSI cable must always be terminated at the end - either with a drive with an activated
termination, or with a terminating resistor mounted on the cable. The terminating resistors of all
other SCSI devices attached must not be activated.
·
Depending on the SCSI technology (UW, U2W), an adapter may be required for connecting the
SCSI drives with a 50-pin connector.
