EIDE Configuration Cabling
The xSeries 300 contains two integrated ATA-100 EIDE controllers. One controller is cabled directly to the 24x-10x IDE CD-ROM. xSeries 300 models that ship with a
standard EIDE HDD use the second EIDE controller to attach the standard HDD. This controller supports up to two EIDE HDDs through the use of a two-drop cable.
SCSI Configuration Cabling
xSeries 300 SCSI models contain a single channel, Ultra160 SCSI adapter. A two-drop, 16-bit LVD SCSI cable is attached to the internal connector of this adapter to
support the standard Ultra160 HDD (model dependent). The second drop can be used to attach a second SCSI HDD. In configurations where external SCSI device
attachment is required, a supported SCSI adapter or ServeRAID controller must be installed.
