Intel MB440LX manual Scsi Hard Disk Drive

SCSI Hard Disk Drive

The system supports a variety of single-ended SCSI SCA devices. As shipped from the supplier, the system might not contain any hard disk drives.

Contact your sales representative or dealer for a list of approved single-ended SCSI SCA devices.

▲WARNING

The single-ended SCSI hot-docking backplane requires installing single-ended SCSI devices in your system. Installing differential SCSI drive types can result in electrical damage to the system board and the peripherals.

▲! CAUTION

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) AND ESD PROTECTION:

ESD can damage disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. This server can withstand normal levels of environmental ESD while hot-swapping SCSI hard disk drives. However, we recommend doing all procedures in this manual only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground of the server—any unpainted metal surface—when handling components.
