Hard Disk Drives

Your system supports a variety of SCSI hard disk drives. The SCSI drives must
use the industry standard 80-pin Single Connector Attachment (SCA) connector.
Contact your sales representative or dealer for a list of approved devices. The
internal hard disk drives are located in the SCSI Disk Drive Bays (A).

CAUTION

Do not hot swap a non-LVD-disk-drive into a LVD-disk-drive
only system for it may cause data corruption. The only way a
non-LVD-disk-drive can be used with an all LVD-disk-drive
system is by first powering down the system, installing the
non-LVD-disk-drive, and then powering the system back up.

Note:

Installing a non-LVD-disk-drive into an all LVD-

disk-drive system causes all the drives to operate in the non-
LVD mode.

The onboard SCSI controller support single-ended drives. If a RAID
controller board is installed it supports Low Voltage Differential (LVD)
disks. The hard disk SCSI address assignment is:
