Installing a Hard-Disk Drive

The IP690 is a flash-based appliance that also supports one or two optional hard-disk drives that
plug into connectors on the motherboard. Each hard-disk drive contains 40 GB of storage space.
Note
A second hard-disk drive, which can be used for disk mirroring, is an option only for a
disk-based IP690. A single optional hard-disk drive can by used in a flash-based IP690 for
storing log files.
The hard-disk drives are not included in the standard package for the flash-based IP690. When
you purchase your IP690, you can order one or two hard-disk drive(s) for factory installation or
order them later and install them yourself, as described in this chapter.
You can use a single hard-disk drive for storing log files.
This section describes how to install a hard-disk drive.
