1. Two half-high (HH) bays can be combined to support a single full-high
(FH) device. By installing the 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion
Kit (P/N 33L5050), bays A and B are transformed into three SL hot-swap
bays 4 . .. 6.
2. To enable bays 4 ... 6, optional 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit
(P/N 33L5050) is required.

1. xSeries 342 ships with Bays 1 ... 3 enabled. To enable installation of greater than three HDDs requires Netfinity
3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit (P/N 33L5050).
2. IBM 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit (P/N 33L5050) includes a hot-swap backplane and associated
components for two cabling options. The backplane may be cabled directly to the second integrated SCSI
channel or be supported by the same SCSI channel as the standard backplane through the use of an included
repeater card.
3. Install in one of the media bays, disconnecting power to the standard slim-line CD-ROM. Connect one end of
the IDE cable included with the option to the IDE connector on the system board and the other end to the optical
device. The middle connector on the cable may be used to connect a second optional optical device installed
in the other media bay. Configure the first device as master using the preset configuration. If a second is
installed, configure it as slave. The standard CD-ROM may not be used when an optional optical device is
installed.
4. To configure a SCSI storage device, select an optional SCSI controller then refer to Appendix D: Cables -
Storage Units - Controllers to confirm the controller supports the desired External Storage Expansion Unit and to
select a supported cable. For HDD or other expansion unit options, see the specific expansion unit section. For
Fibre Channel storage devices, refer to the Fibre Channel Solutions Overview section.
5. EXP300 includes a single 2M Ultra2 SCSI cable and dual hot-swap 500W redundant power supplies, each
with its own power cord.
6. FAStT EXP500 Storage Expansion Unit (P/N 35601RU) includes dual hot-swap 350W power supplies, each
with its own power cord.
7. The FAStT200 includes two hot-swap, 350W auto-ranging redundant power supplies, each with its own power
cord.
8. Can be upgraded to FAStT200 HA Storage Server through the addition of a FAStT200 Redundant RAID
Controller (P/N 19K1121).
