IBM XSERIES 200
EIDE Models
In xSeries 200 models using the EIDE interface for storage device attachment, a two-drop cable is used to attach the standard EIDE HDD to one of the EIDE
connectors. A second EIDE controller provides the interface for the IDE CD-ROM drive. A two-drop cable connects the IDE controller to the IDE CD-ROM. Up to two
additional IDE devices can be installed (one off of each controller).
SCSI Models
xSeries 200 models with a SCSI adapter are cabled internally with a five-drop, 16-bit wide LVD SCSI cable with a built-in multi-mode active terminator at one end of
the cable. The other end of the cable is attached to the internal 68-pin connector of the standard Ultra160 SCSI adapter. SCSI devices can be connected to any of
the five cable connectors. If 8-bit (narrow) devices are to be installed, a 68- to 50-pin converter (32G3925) is required for each narrow device.
Other Configuration Alternatives
In the case where a RAID controller is used to support internal drives in a xSeries 200, the standard cable is moved from the standard PCI storage controller to the
RAID adapter. To connect a tape drive to the onboard or other supported SCSI controller, use the 16-bit multi-mode terminated, two-drop SCSI cable included with
optional Media Bay Tray and LVD Cable Kit (P/N 10K2340).
External SCSI support can be obtained by installing an optional SCSI adapter or RAID controller and using appropriate external SCSI cabling.

1. Supported only in machine type 8478 models. This table does not represent all possible memory configurations. Memory modules may vary in price per
MB. Selection of smaller DIMMs may provide a more cost-effective alternative to using larger DIMMs. Select
the desired total memory from the appropriate column (standard 64MB or 128MB), then select a quantity in
that row from one of the DIMM columns.
1. Network operating systems may limit the maximum amount of addressable memory. See operating system
specifications for further information.
2. Requires removal of standard DIMMs.
3. Not supported on machine type 8479 models.
