1.The xSeries 200 EIDE controllers support a maximum of four IDE devices per machine including CD-ROM drives,
HDDs and IDE tape drives.
2. Mixing of internal IDE and SCSI HDDs is not supported.
3. Limited to two drives in model 8478-22X due to installed tape drive option.
4. Not supported in machine type 8478 models.
5. Not supported in machine type 8479 or 8481 models
6. Either replace the standard CD-ROM or install in the available media bay. An IDE cable with three connectors is
included with the optional optical drive (same cable is provided standard in the system). If installing as an additional
device, connect the cable to each optical device and the IDE connector on the system board. Configure the optional
device as a master using the preset configuration if replacing the standard device or as a slave if installed as a
redundant device.
7. Audio not supported for DVD-ROM drives. The drive operates in video mode only.
8. Not supported by the external SCSI port included in SCSI models. Select an optional SCSI controller then refer to
Appendix D: Cables - Storage Unit - 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.
9. EXP300 includes a single 2M Ultra2 SCSI cable and dual hot-swap 500W redundant power supplies, each with its
own power cord. To convert an EXP300 to a tower form factor, EXP300 Rack-to-Tower Conversion Kit (P/N 09N7296) is
required.
