Compaq 386 manual System Configured for 1.2 Gigabytes

Maintenance and Service Guide 9-3

For MS-DOS (with the device driver) to support any two internal fixed disk drives, with one expansion unit, two rules must be followed.

□A maximum of two controllers may be plugged into the system bus.

□Each controller may support only two fixed disk drives.

Example: With the use of two expansion units, a total of 1.2 gigabytes of fixed disk storage is available, divided into four 300-Megabyte volumes. This configuration with switch settings is shown in Figure 9-1.

NOTE: For maximum storage the system is connected in the same way as duplexing or mirroring. The only difference be- tween maximum storage and mirroring or duplexing is that the NOVELL software need not be run when the system is con- figured for maximum storage.
