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 Dell host adapter card. The internal hard-disk drive bays provide space for up to six 1- or 1.6-inch hard-disk drives. (See Chapter 9, "Installing Drives in the External Bays," for information on installing SCSI CD-ROM drives, SCSI tape drives in the external drive bays.) NOTE: You may also install up to two 1-inch hard-disk drives in the external drive bay using an optional external drive bay assembly. See "Installing Hard-Disk Drives in the External Drive Bay" in Chapter 9 for more information. Figure 10-1 illustrates the internal 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 host adapter card. The connector at the other end of the cable attaches to the connector labeled "SCSI" on the SCSI backplane board. Installing Hard-Disk Drives 10-1
