2.5 Internal storage

The following section discusses the various options and configurations regarding internal storage.

2.5.1 Internal storage attachments

The default disk drive is mounted behind the operating panel in a bolt-in DASD bay. Media bay 1 can also be used for a tape drive or a additional disk. Media bay 2 must have a CD-ROM or DVD-RAM device installed.

You have to place the smallest capacity disk drive first, then place DASD with next highest capacity. Install the disk drive in ascending order capacity until all disks are in place. All disk drives and media devices are driven by the internal integrated SCSI port only.

Note: On the Model 6C1 the SCSI slots of the hot swap six pack are numbered from 1 to 6, right to left. On the model 6E1 they are numbered 1 to 6, top to bottom.

Table 2-2provides detailed information about how you can connect internal SCSI devices to your system for systems ordered with the SCSI backplane (#6567). For systems without a SCSI backplane, a 3-drop SCSI media bay and backplane cable (# 4259) can be ordered. Systems without a backplane may not be ordered with a DVD-RAM or tape device sharing the same integrated SCSI adapter, since this will affect device performance.
