Peripheral and Hard Drive Sub-System

The chassis can be configured to support several different hard drive and peripheral
configurations. The peripheral/hard drive sub-system consists of a drive bay, supporting a
slimline optical drive, hard drives, and flex bay; a mid-plane; and hot-swap backplane. This
chapter describes the details for each sub-system component.

Slimline Drive Bay

The chassis provides a slim-line drive bay that is designed to support a single slim-line IDE
optical drive or USB Floppy Drive. A list of supported drives can be found in the Intel
Board S5000PAL/S5000XAL Tested Hardware and OS List. Either drive type is mounted to a
tool-less tray which allows for easy installation into and removal from the chassis. Once inserted
into the chassis, the assembly locks into place. It is not hot-swappable. For removal, the
system must be powered down, the chassis top cover removed and the locking latch
disengaged.
