SCSI Cables

The front drive bays are available for installing or connecting mass storage SCSI devices.

Using a SCSI Cable

Select models ship with a multimode SCSI cable that supports Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or single-ended devices. The cable accommodates up to three SCSI devices in the front drive bay area (UATA models do not have the SCSI cable).
