IBM XSERIES 240
The xSeries 240 contains a backplane supporting six hot-swap drive bays. The backplane is connected to the integrated dual channel, wide
Ultra2 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. A two-drop, 16-bit SCSI cable with integrated terminator is also included with
the server to support up to two internal removable media devices. This cable can be attached to the integrated SCSI controller if a RAID
adapter is used to support the internal hot-swap drive bays. It can also be used to attach to a supported SCSI adapter if the integrated Ultra2
SCSI controller is utilized for the hot-swap bays. The second channel is available through an industry-standard 0.8mm Very High Density
Connector Interface (VHDCI) located on the rear panel for external use.
