The xw9300 supports many combinations of SATA and SCSI drives for both factory integrated and
After Market Optional (AMO) storage. The supported choices are shown in the flowchart, starting
with the selection of SATA or SCSI for the first drive. Note that if the first drive selected is a SCSI
drive, all subsequent drives must be SCSI drives.
There are no restrictions on the number of drives in the xw9300 with factory-ordered configurations.
However, when configuring the system with dual high end graphics cards not supplied by HP (which
can draw up to 150W each) there may be restrictions on the number of disk drives, amount of
memory, or number of CPUs that can be supported. Please contact the xw9300 Product Marketing
Manager for more details.
