Dell™ PowerEdge™ 2450 Systems Installing a Fifth SCSI Hard-Disk Drive This document describes installing and configuring an optional fifth small computer system interface (SCSI) hard-disk drive in your computer's peripheral bay. Before You Begin Before installing a fifth SCSI hard-disk drive, you should install and configure the other four SCSI drives. If you want to set up the five drives in a split 1 x 2 and 1 x 3 configuration, a second, optional SCSI backplane daughter card must be installed in your system. (For more information on the daughter card, see "Installing Hard-Disk Drives" in your system's Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.) Figure 1-1 illustrates the system components associated with the SCSI hard-disk drives. .
