* The primary IDE (IDE-1) cable is connected to the factory-installed CD-
ROM drive. A secondary IDE connector (IDE-2) is available, but is not
supported by Hewlett-Packard.
** A 50-to-68-pin SCSI adapter is provided with the HP tape drive.
*** Both SCSI channels (A and B) can each support up to 15 devices;
however, there are only enough internal storage shelves for four hard drives
and one optional tape backup device. Channel B is typically used to control
external SCSI devices. If you decide to duplex internal drives using Channel
B, you are restricted to the internal drives only.
