External Device Connectors
The I/O panel provides connectors for a PS/2 compatible mouse and a keyboard, connectors for VGA monitor, 2 serial port connectors, and a parallel port connector. It also provides a narrow SCSI external connector.
Keyboard and Mouse
The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2™-compatible.
Peripheral Devices
This subsection describes the SCSI-2 hard drive bays, SCSI drive hot-swap backplane, and 5 1/4-inch removable media drive bays.
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 2-5). 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.
