The disk drive bay may contain up to four JBOD (for “just a bunch of disks”) or RAID SCA
SCSI disk drives. JBOD disks are controlled by a Symbios dual-channel Low Voltage Differential
Signaling (LVDS) SCSI adapter. If your system is configured for RAID, a single-channel Mylex
RAID controller provides RAID capabilities such as disk striping, mirroring, and redundancy.
Each disk drive installed in the disk drive bay has a label affixed to the front. The left side of the
disk drive label identifies the disk drive size (in GB). The label has blank spaces for the numbers
to indicate the adapter (ADP), the channel (CH), and the identification number (ID). Standard disk
drives include values for the adapter, channel, and identification number filled in. Additional disk
drives have a blank label which you must complete after installation.
NOTE
A labeling sheet is included in the system parts box.
