6-45Console Cabling Requirements
Configuration Rules for PowerConsole 2 Extensions
Additional internal disk drives and media drives must be placed in this PowerConsole
according to the following rules:
Five bays are available in Escala S100:
– three of them are already used by: floppy, one CD–ROM 20X and one system disk of
4.5GB.
– Two bays are free (one 1’’ and one 1.6’’). They can be used for two disk drives or for
one media and one disk drive.
The disk drives are 1’’ high, 7200tpm, with a capacity of 4.3GB and 9.1GB.
The VDAT fits only in the bay #2 (normally the bay of the CD–ROM) of the S100 and
therefore they must be swapped with the CD–ROM.
