PC Server 320 - Internal Drive Bays (Disk-Array models)

Applicable to: World-Wide

Internal Drive Bays (Disk-Array Models)
Internal drives are installed in bays. The bays are numbered 1 through 10.

Cover plates (sometimes called bezels ) cover the front of some installed drives. If you install a drive that uses removable media (diskette, optical disc, or tape), you might need to remove or change the cover plate.

Bays 1-6 are for 3.5-inch hot-swappable hard disk drives. Bay 7 has a preinstalled SCSI CD-ROM drive. Bays 8 and 9 are for 3.5-inch diskette interface devices, such as a diskette drive or a tape backup unit that uses the diskette cable.

The system board in the server supports a maximum of two diskette interface devices. You can install a second 3.5-inch diskette interface device in bay 9. Bay 10 is for a 3.5-inch hard disk drive only. Be sure the screw holes in the device line up with the screw holes in bay.

Disk-array models are supplied with a 2-drop SCSI cable.

The following table shows the widths, types, and maximum heights for the drives that you can install in each bay.

Bay	Drive Width	Drive Type	Max Drive Height
