Packard Bell MH4000 manual SCSI-2 Hard Drive Bays, Six bays for Scsi drives

SCSI-2 Hard Drive Bays

The right side of the system contains six bays for 3 1/2- inch SCSI-2 hard drives and a hot-swap backplane (see Figure 2-6). The backplane supports six drives. The backplanes require an 80-pin single connector attachment (SCA) connector on the drives you install.

A drive carrier is required as part of the hot swap implementation. A 3 1/2-inch peripheral between 1.0 and 1.6 inches high can be accommodated in each carrier. A drive is mounted in the carrier with four fasteners, and the carrier is retained in the chassis by a locking handle.

A fault light on the front panel board gives a general indication that there has been a fault on a hot-swap drive. Each drive has a set of three lights to indicate the fault or other status: power-on (green LED), activity (green LED), or fault (yellow LED).
