xSeries 240 / Netfinity 5600 Internal SCSI Cabling
The xSeries 240 and Netfinity 5600 contain a backplane supporting six hot-swap drive bays. The backplane is connected to the integrated dual channel, wide Ultra2 SCSI controller
connector through a 16-bit LVD SCSI cable. If internal RAID support is required, this cable can be used to connect to a supported RAID adapter rather than the integrated SCSI
controller. A two-drop, 16-bit SCSI cable with integrated terminator is also included with the server to support up to two internal removable media devices. This cable can be
attached to the integrated SCSI controller if a RAID adapter is used to support the internal hot-swap drive bays. It can also be used to attach to a supported SCSI adapter if the
integrated Ultra2 SCSI controller is utilised for the hot-swap bays. The second channel is available through an industry-standard 0.8-mm very high density connector interface
(VHDCI) located on the rear panel for external use.
