Dell PowerEdge 2550 Installing a Fifth SCSI Hard-Disk Drive - Page 3

About This Guide This document describes installing and configuring an optional fifth SCSI hard-disk drive in your Dell™ system'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, you must install a second, optional SCSI backplane daughter card in your system. (For more information about 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. Figure 1-1. Basic SCSI Hard-Disk Drive System Components .
