The xSeries 230 contains a DASD backplane supporting six hot-swap, SCA-2 compliant drive bays. The backplane is connected to channel A of the integrated
dual-channel, Ultra160 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. No external SCSI port is included.
A two-drop, 16-bit LVD SCSI cable with integrated terminator is also included with the Netfinity Hot-Swap Power Supply Expansion Kit (P/N 37L6881).This cable is
included in the expansion kit because installation of SCSI devices in bays A and B may require additional power. The two-drop cable supports up to two internal
devices in these bays. This cable can be attached to channel B of the integrated dual-channel Ultra160 SCSI controller or to a supported SCSI adapter.
This table does not represent all possible memory configurations. Memory modules may vary in price
per MB. Selection of smaller RDIMMs may provide a more cost-effective alternative to using larger
RDIMMs.
1. Network operating systems may limit the maximum amount of addressable memory. See operating
system specifications for further information.
2. Requires removal of standard memory.
