System Components SCSI Backplane The SCSI backplane of this server is comprised of two SCSI boards with a Wide-SCSI connector, power input, and SCSI ID dip switches on each SCSI board. This configuration allows Wide-SCSI hard disk drives to be docked into the server using a common connector. The female end is located on the SCSI board, while the male end is located on the hot-swap tray. SCSI Board Placement There are three screws on each side of the SCSI board. Both sides of the cabinet side panels must be removed to access these screws. Please note that notches on the top and bottom of the SCSI board must be placed as shown in order to properly seat the SCSI boards into the chassis. The SCSI board will only fit in one orientation but may be interchanged between the top and bottom half. Be aware of the SCSI ID setting of each SCSI board.

System Components SCSI ID Setting SCSI ID settings are made through DIP switches located on the SCSI board. [. . . ] FDISK is required to setup a new non-RAID hard disk drive before formatting and installing an operating system. IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) IDE devices integrate the drive control circuitry directly on the drive itself, eliminating the need for a separate adapter card (in the case for SCSI devices). UltraDMA/33 IDE devices can achieve up to 33MB/Sec transfer. LPT Port (Line Printer Port) Logical device name reserved by DOS for computer parallel ports. [. . . ]
