Using the Storage Subsystems
The internal storage subsystem is the primary source of storage for the system.
The system also comes with a combination IDE CD-ROM and floppy drive.
A spare bay can house a tape drive and is located to the left of the combination
CD-ROM and floppy drive in a rackmount system and above in a pedestal
system. The storage subsystem has two versions: one cage version supports
four 1.6 inch disk drives and the other supports six 1.0 inch disk drives.
The system is designed for hot-swap disk drives and plug and play, which
offers a jumperless configuration of SCSI ID, automatic SCSI termination, and
automatic system recognition.
This chapter contains the following information:
■ Comparing the two storage subsystems
■ SCSI bus controller
■ Disk drive configuration
■ Hot swap
■ Drive carriers
■ Drive status LEDs
■ Installing drive carriers
■ Configuring and expanding your storage system
■ Multimode SCSI termination
■ Combination CD-ROM and floppy dirve
