Installing a Fifth SCSI Hard-Disk Drive
This document describes installing and configuring an optional fifth small computer
system interface (SCSI) hard-disk drive in your computer's peripheral bay.

Before You Begin

Before installing a fifth SCSI hard-disk drive, you should install and configure the other
four SCSI drives. If you want to set up the five drives in a split 1 x 2 and 1 x 3 configu-
ration, a second, optional SCSI backplane daughter card must be installed in your
system. (For more information on the daughter card, see "Installing Hard-Disk Drives"
in your system's Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.) Figure 1-1 illustrates the sys-
tem components associated with the SCSI hard-disk drives.
