The PowerTower Pro uses two SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) buses to connect
drives; a 10 MB/sec. internal bus and a 5 MB/sec. external bus. For a discussion of how the
SCSI bus on your computer is set up, see ÒUsing SCSI devices,Ó starting on page 16. Pay
particular attention to the discussion of SCSI termination, discussed in ÒEnsuring proper
terminationÓ on page 17.
Besides the ßoppy disk drive, the built-in hard disk, and the CD-ROM drive, the computer
has two front-accessible 5.25-inch drive bays below the CD-ROM drive. Each of these drive
bays allows you to install one full-height or two half-height drives.
