supported on the Compaq Professional Workstation AP200.

Drive Positions

The Compaq Professional Workstation AP200 can house up to five mass storage devices. The
following illustration identifies the physical drive locations. See the corresponding table for a

* You may install either a third height or half height drive into a half height bay.
NOTE: Compaq does not support mixing Ultra ATA and SCSI hard drives in the same system. If
you are replacing a hard drive in by 4 or 5, it must be of the same type. If you are replacing the
Ultra ATA hard drive in bay 4 or 5 with a SCSI hard drive, you will need a SCSI device option kit
and the SCSI controller option kit. The controller option kit contains the SCSI controller and cable
that supports multiple SCSI devices. See "Installing Optional SCSI Devices" later in this chapter
for more information.
