Mass Storage Locations Mass Storage Guidelines • General Guidelines o Use care when unpacking and handling the hard disk drives. The hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and can be easily damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch. If the drop would crack an egg, it will damage the drive. o Do not stack drives. o The server is internally limited to 6 mass storage shelves. The flexible disk drive and CD-ROM drive, which are standard on all models of the hp server tc2120, occupy shelves 1 and 2 respectively.

See Figure 3-5. • IDE Devices o The embedded IDE controller is an Enhanced-IDE dual channel controller and provides two connectors (IDE-1 and IDE-2) for IDE devices. Refer to "System Board Layout" in Chapter 9, Specifications. o The IDE CD-ROM uses one connector on the cable from the IDE-2 connector, leaving one connector for an optional third hard drive or IDE device on the IDE model. The CD-ROM is configured as the master device, unless a third HDD is installed, which should be configured as the master device. For the SCSI model the second IDE-2 connector could be used for any additional IDE device, such as IDE hard drive. o The primary IDE connector (IDE-1) and cable is used for the first or standard hard IDE drive and the second optional hard drive. 17
