Specifications

installing the SCSI device
Before you install an internal SCSI device in one of your
computer’s drive bays, see the guidelines below.
The EISA Series desktop computer has two horizontal drive bays
and one vertical mounting area to hold drives. The upper
horizontal drive bay normally contains a diskette drive and the
vertical mounting area normally contains a hard disk drive. If you
are installing an internal device in the EISA Series desktop
computer, follow these guidelines:
❏ If your computer does not have a hard disk drive and you are
installing a SCSI hard disk drive, you should install it in the
vertical mounting area.
❏ If you are installing an additional hard disk drive or a tape
drive, you can install it in the lower horizontal drive bay.
The EISA Series tower computer supports up to six internal devices.
It can accommodate four half-height or one full-height and two
half-height drives in the upper drive bays, which you can access
externally. The internal drive bays can accommodate one full-
height or two half-height drives. The upper drive bays normally
contain at least one diskette drive; the internal drive housing
normally contains one or more hard disk drives. If you are
installing an internal device in the EISA Series tower computer,
follow this guideline:
❏ You can install a SCSI device in either location. However, if
you do not need to access a device externally, you should
install it in the internal housing. This leaves the externally-
accessible bays free for devices you need to access.
Follow all the instructions for installing a drive in your EISA Series
User’s Guide.
Note
Make sure you connect a power supply from your computer to each
internal SCSI device you install.
