Removable Media Devices - NEC HV8600 User Manual

Removable Media Devices

A CD-ROM drive is always mounted in bay D. Any SCSI removable media
device can be installed in peripheral bays A, B, and C. The SCSI devices should
be installed in the first available bay from the bottom (bay D).
Figure 4-28 illustrates the recommended removable media configuration. The
bays are intended to hold tape, CD-ROM, or other removable media drives.
Narrow SCSI drives in the 5 1/4-inch bays receive control signals from channel
B of the SCSI-2 controller on the system I/O board.
Note:
in the last SCSI drive of the daisy chain cabling (bottom
media bay D). All other devices must have terminators
removed.
Hard disk drives cannot be installed in a 5 1/4-inch external bay because the
drive generates EMI, is more susceptible to ESD, and does not have sufficient
cooling.
A 1.44 MB diskette drive is always mounted in bay E. A second 3 1/2-inch
device can be installed in bay F.
The SCSI termination resistors must be installed
