Hard Drive

The internal hard drive uses Intelligent Device Electronics (IDE) technology, commonly used in DOS-compatible systems. The IDE hard drive functions the same as a typical SCSI hard drive. You must replace IDE drives like-for-like.

The IDE drive does not affect SCSI ID selections or SCSI termination schemes. Seven external SCSI devices may be daisy-chained through the external SCSI port.
