2.5.2.2 Internal Tape Drives

Both 4mm and 8mm Internal Tape Drives can be installed in an internal,
non-hot-swappable media bay. Unlike the Model E20, there are no limitations on
the bay where the internal tape is to be installed.

Table 8 shows the main characteristics of internal tape drives.

2.5.2.3 Internal CD-ROM Drives

The CD-ROM provides four-speed performance with the convenience of loading
CDs without a caddy. There are no restrictions on bay positions apart from the
standard CD-ROM drive mounted in bay number A2. Table 4 on page 24 shows
the main CD-ROM features.

2.5.2.4 Graphics Adapter

Currently, the only graphics adapter supported by Model F30 is the IBM PCI S15
Graphics Adapter (feature #2657). Moreover, only two PCI S15 adapters can be
installed in the system. Refer to Table 5 on page 25 to look for the display
monitors that the Model F30 supports. They are the same ones supported by
Model E20.
