1. xSeries 350 ships with bays 1 ... 3 enabled. To enable installation of greater than three HDDs requires IBM 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 that allow two ways to connect the expansion backplane. Within the option kit are two 16-bit LVD
SCSI cables. One can be attached from the 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap backplane to the second connector of
the onboard dual-channel Ultra160 SCSI controller, creating two independent buses. (Utilizing the second
channel will eliminate the possibility of attaching external devices to that channel.) Using the repeater card
included with the option kit, the other cable can be connected to the standard backplane, creating a single bus
with six hot-swap HDD bays. Install tip: Do not route cabling over a memory card. If necessary, the longer
standard SCSI cable can be disconnected from the standard backplane and connected to the backplane
included in the expansion kit. Then the LVD SCSI cable that comes with the expansion kit would be connected
to the standard backplane. Cabling can be routed either over or under the fans.
3. Not supported by the onboard external SCSI port. To configure one of the SCSI storage devices listed here,
select an optional SCSI controller then refer to Appendix D: Cables - Storage Units - Controllers to confirm that
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.
4. EXP300 includes a single 2M Ultra2 SCSI cable and dual hot-swap 500W redundant power supplies, each
with its own power cord.
5. FAStT EXP500 Storage Expansion Unit (P/N 35601RU) includes dual hot-swap 350W power supplies, each
with its own power cord.
6. The FAStT200 includes two hot-swap, 350W auto-ranging redundant power supplies, each with its own power
cord.
7. Can be upgraded to FAStT200 HA Storage Server through the addition of a FAStT200 Redundant RAID
Controller (P/N 19K1121).
