Notes:

1.Diskette drives, tape drives, and CD-ROM drives are removable-media drives. You can install removable-media drives in bays 1, 2, 3, and 4.

2.You can install a 3.5-in., slim-high, or a 5.25-in., half-high, removable-media drive, such as a tape backup drive, in bay 2.

3.You can only install a 3.5-in., slim-high, removable-media drive in bay 4.

4.The xSeries 200 server supports only one diskette drive, which uses 1 MB and 2 MB diskettes.

5.Before you install a 3.5-in. drive in a 5.25-in. bay, you must attach the 5.25 in. conversion kit, supplied with your option, to the 3.5-in drive. Refer to the documentation that comes with the option for the conversion kit installation instructions.

Note: Only 3.5-in. options that ship with proper mounting hardware can be supported in the 5.25-in. bays.

6.If you have a tape backup drive in your server, use a dry process cleaning cartridge to clean the tape head two hours after you first use a new data cartridge. Then, clean the tape head once a month, or after each eight hours of continuous read/write operations, whichever occurs first. For complete details about the tape backup drive, refer to the documentation that comes with your server or your backup option.

7.The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are both protected by having bays 1 through 4 covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the EMC shield and filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove the drive and do not replace it with another.

8.For a list of supported options for your server, refer to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat on the World Wide Web.
