This chapter describes how to install and configure small computer system interface (SCSI) hard-disk drives in the computer's internal hard-disk drive bays. Instructions are also included for upgrading the system by installing a hot-pluggable SCSI backplane board or a Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller host adapter card The hard-disk drive bays provide space for up to four 1.6-inch or six 1-inch hard-disk drives. (See Chapter 9, "Installing Drives in the External Bays," for information on installing SCSI CD-ROM drives and SCSI tape drives in the external drive bays.) Three SCSI backplane board options are available, as shown in Table 10-1. Figure 10-1 illustrates the hard-disk drive bays, the 1 x 6 hot-pluggable SCSI backplane board, and the Ultra2/low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI cable. The Ultra2/LVD SCSI cable has two connectors: The connector at one end attaches to the Ultra2/LVD SCSI host adapter connector labeled "SCSI1" on the system board, or to an optional SCSI host adapter card such as the Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller. The connector at the other end of the cable attaches to the connector labeled "SCSIA" on the SCSI backplane board. 2 x 2 backplane No board Yes 1.6-inch and No 1-inch drives 2 x 3 backplane No board Yes 1-inch drives No 1 x 6 backplane Yes* board No 1-inch drives Yes *Backplane board must be controlled by a Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller Installing Hard-Disk Drives 10-1

The hard-disk drive bays provide space for up to four 1.6-inch or six 1-inch hard-disk
drives. (See Chapter 9, “Installing Drives in the External Bays,” for information on
installing SCSI CD-ROM drives and SCSI tape drives in the external drive bays.)
Three
SCSI backplane board options are available, as shown in Table 10-1.
Figure 10-1 illustrates the hard-disk drive bays, the 1 x 6 hot-pluggable SCSI backplane
board, and the Ultra2/low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI cable. The Ultra2/LVD SCSI
cable has two connectors:
²
The connector at one end attaches to the Ultra2/LVD SCSI host adapter connec-
tor labeled “SCSI1” on the system board, or to an optional SCSI host adapter
card such as the Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller.
²
The connector at the other end of the cable attaches to the connector labeled
“SCSIA” on the SCSI backplane board.
