IDE Mass Storage Devices

This section provides the configuration of the IDE mass storage devices, if you
have selected an IDE version of the HP Server tc2100.

IDE Controller Configuration

The embedded IDE controller is available for both models (IDE or SCSI) of the
HP Server. The embedded IDE controller is an Ultra DMA33/66/100 E-IDE dual
channel controller, which provides IDE-1 and IDE-2 connectors. Each channel can
only control two IDE devices.
The IDE Server model uses the IDE-1 for the boot drive and the IDE-2 connector
for the IDE CD-ROM. The Setup Utility (BIOS) can be used to change the boot
order of the flexible disk drive and the IDE devices. Refer to Chapter 8,
"Configuring the HP Server," for more information.
