therefore only supports two IDE devices. The single narrow SCSI
connector on the system board supports up to seven devices. The last device
on the SCSI bus must be terminated.

Note:

System EMI integrity and
cooling are both protected
by having drives installed in
the bays or filler panels and
EMI shields covering the
bays. When you install a
drive, save the panel and
shield to reinstall in case you

drive and not reinstall one in
the same bay.
