Introduction
Your DIGITAL Server 5220 supports wide Ultra SCSI disk drives. The following
sections describe the SCSI configuration guidelines that must be adhered to so your
server operates correctly after installing and connecting SCSI devices.
The server supports two SCSI channels. Channel 1 is used to connect internal SCSI
devices. Channel 2 is used to connect external SCSI devices.
Storage Configuration Guidelines
•
The server supports up to nine internal storage devices, including two 5¼-
inch drives and seven hot swap drives.
•
The server has two enhanced IDE drive interface connectors labeled primary
and secondary which are located on the main logic board. The CD-ROM
drive is attached to the primary IDE connector.
•
The CD-ROM drive is scanned first when the server boots. If a bootable
CD-ROM disc is placed in the CD-ROM drive, it will boot in place of drive A
or drive C.
•
The BIOS boot settings determine the boot order of storage devices.
