LTO drives. For a list of supported options for your server, go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat/ on the World Wide Web. A three-drop power signal cable and a one-drop IDE cable come attached to the CD-ROM drive. Use this power signal cable to connect the removable-media drives. The one-drop SCSI signal cable that comes with your server will need to be replaced with a two-drop SCSI signal cable to provide a signal connection to the removable-media drives. v You cannot install hot-swap drives in the removable-media or non-hot-swap drive bays on the front side of the server, unless you install the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion option. v Your server supports a maximum of six 1-inch (26 mm) slim-high, 3.5-inch, hot-swap hard disk drives in the standard hot-swap bays. In the tower model, the hot-swap bays are arranged vertically in the standard hard disk drive cage; the bay numbers are 0 through 5 (from bottom to top). In the rack configuration, the hot-swap bays are arranged horizontally in the standard hard disk drive cage; the bay numbers are 0 through 5 (from left to right). In the tower model, bays 0 through 5 are below the removable-media drive bays. In the rack configuration, bays 0 through 5 are to the left of the removable-media drive bays. Notes: 1. To minimize the possibility of damage to the hard disk drives when you are installing them in a rack configuration, install the server in the rack before installing the hard disk drives. 2. You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap drives in the hot-swap drive bays. However, you must turn off the server when performing any steps that involve installing or removing cables. 3. You can install three additional hot-swap hard disk drives in the server after you install the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion option (see "Working with the 3-Pack Ultra320 Hot-Swap Expansion option" on page 70). These drives are in the optional hard disk drive cage. The SCSI IDs are listed in Table 8 on page 112. 4. Some filler panels might come with a slim filler. 76 xSeries 235 Type 8671: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
