PCServer500 - Fitting tape drive etc. into the top left bay
Applicable to: World-Wide
Question:
Can I fit a tape drive (or other device) into the top left bays of PC Server 500?.
Answer:
You can fit a tape drive into the B bays of PC Server 500. A 3 drop cable runs from the C bank backplane to the CD-ROM (which is on the first drop). The second drop is available for use in bank B and the third drop carries a SCSI terminator.
Note:
Bank C is pre-wired to use ID's 0-5, the CD-ROM is ID 6 and the SCSI adapter is ID 7. Therefore, if you install a device in bank B you will use an ID that is intended for Bank C so you can't install a drive in the corresponding position in Bank C.
Mechanically, half height units will fit in bay B1, full-height devices will require the removal of the "glove box" as well as the bezel of B1 to free up the entire space.
