Features

External Device Connectors

The I/O panel provides connectors for a PS/2
compatible mouse and a keyboard, connectors for VGA
monitor, 2 serial port connectors, and a parallel port
connector. It also provides a narrow SCSI external
connector.

Keyboard and Mouse

The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2™-compatible.

Peripheral Devices

This subsection describes the SCSI-2 hard drive bays,
SCSI drive hot-swap backplane, and 5 1/4-inch
removable media drive bays.

SCSI-2 Hard Drive Bays

The right side of the system contains six bays for 3 1/2-
inch SCSI-2 hard drives and a hot-swap backplane (see
Figure 2-5). The backplane supports six drives. The
backplanes require an 80-pin single connector
attachment (SCA) connector on the drives you install.

A drive carrier is required as part of the hot swap
implementation. A 3 1/2-inch peripheral between 1.0
and 1.6 inches high can be accommodated in each
carrier. A drive is mounted in the carrier with four
fasteners, and the carrier is retained in the chassis by
a locking handle.
