The open peripheral bay at the front of a Dell PowerEdge 2450 system can accommo-

date a user-accessible, half-height 5.25-inch device, such as a tape drive. This

peripheral bay is contained in a removable peripheral cage. The top of the peripheral

cage accommodates a standard 3.5-inch diskette drive and integrated drive electron-

ics (IDE) CD-ROM drive. These two drives connect to the system board via an

interposer board mounted on top of the peripheral bay. See Figure 9-1 for a general

view of the various drives and cables associated with the peripheral bay.

NOTE: You can also install a fifth hard-disk drive in the peripheral bay using an upgrade

kit available from Dell.
