■System board has three EISA slots, four PCI slots, and one shared PCI\EISA slot for add-in boards. The system board also has onboard external I/O (serial, parallel, video) interfaces.
■Chassis can hold 11 drives: 6 hot-swap bays for 3 1/2-inch ultra wide SCSI-2 hard drives; three
5 1/4-inch half-height bays for removable media drives with a CD-ROM reader already installed in one bay; and two 3 1/2-inch half-height bays with a diskette drive already installed in one bay.
■Chassis supports up to two power supplies. The second power supply can be added to provide redundant power.
Configuration Constraints
Power supplies are hot-swappable and are easily removed and installed.
The second optional power supply provides redundant power so that if one of the two power supplies fail, the system will continue to operate and the failed power supply can be hot swapped. That is the failed power supply is removed and replaced without turning power off.
The system has three 5 1/4-inch half-height bays accessible from the front. These bays are convenient for diskette, tape, and CD-ROM drives (removable media). Because of the EMI generated by hard drives, the increased susceptibility to ESD, and cooling requirements, hard drives should not be installed in the 5 1/4-inch half-height bays.
