Adding Internal SCSI Drives and Devices
The system features the following peripheral bays:
u
One 3.5-inch x 1-inch external bay for floppy disk drive.
u
One 5.25-inch x 1.6-inch external bay for CD-ROM drive.
u
Two 5.25-inch x 1.6-inch external bays for hard disk drives or other devices.
u
Three 3.5-inch x 1-inch or two 3.5-inch x 1.6-inch internal bays for system or optional
disk drives.
Note the following restrictions on adding peripheral devices:
u
The bottom 5.25-inch bay (location 4) is not designed for CD drives.
u
Other than the CD-ROM drive, only one front-accessible EIDE device can be added.
This device must be installed in the bottom 5.25-inch bay (location 4).
u
The front-accessible bays are not designed to support hard disk drives.
u
A maximum of two EIDE, three 1.0-inch SCSI, or two 1.6-inch SCSI hard disk drives
are supported internally.
u
When installing 5.25-inch peripheral devices, use the screws provided in the package
found in the Accessory Box.
See the following chapters for related information and important details:
u
Chapter 4, "System Hardware," for details on power supply cable connectors and
pinouts.
u
Chapter 5, "System Board," for details on SCSI connector locations and pinouts.
u
Chapter 6, "Peripherals," for details on internal drive locations, configurations, jumpers,
and cables.
Remember the following when installing devices in the system's drive bays:
u
If you are installing a SCSI drive, have the vendor's documentation available to follow
instructions for setting the SCSI ID, enabling or disabling termination, installing device
drivers when required, and configuring other drive attributes.
u
If you are installing a drive that connects to an adapter card (such as an EIDE drive), see
the vendor's documentation for installing the adapter card and required cables. See
"Adding Opton Cards" for details.
u
If you are installing a removable disk drive module, see the vendor's documentation for
installing the module, removing terminators, and setting the SCSI ID.
