This section describes how to install and configure small computer system interface

(SCSI) hard-disk drives in the computer's internal hard-disk drive bays. Instructions are

also included for upgrading the system by installing an optional SCSI backplane

daughter card for split backplane operation, or a Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID

Controller (PERC) host adapter card.

The hard-disk drive bays provide space for up to four 1-inch hard-disk drives. (You can

also install a fifth hard-disk drive in the peripheral bay by purchasing an upgrade kit

from Dell. For more information, see the documentation provided with the upgrade

kit.)

Figure 10-1 illustrates the system components associated with the SCSI hard-disk

drives.
