Hard Drives
Your system contains up to four SATA or SCSI non-hot-plug hard drives. The integrated SATA controller supports two SATA hard drives. If more than two SATA
drives are installed, they must be connected to an optional SATA controller card. If your system contains SCSI hard drives, they must be connected to an
optional SCSI controller card.
The fourth hard drive is installed in the 5.25-inch drive bay (see Figure 7 -1 ) using an adapter. After installing the drive and adapter, the removing and installing
procedures are the same as the other hard drives.
The basic steps for removing and installing SATA and SCSI hard drives are the same.
