Using USB Diskette or USB CD Drives
Each server module has a USB port on the front of the server module which allows you to connect a custom cable for a diskette drive or USB CD drive. The USB
drives are used to configure the server module.
Hard-Drive Features
Each server module supports up to two hot-pluggable SCSI hard drives. If only one hard drive is used, a blank must be installed to maintain proper cooling.
See Figure2-4 and Table2-3 for information on the hard-drive indicators. Different patterns are displayed as drive events occur in the system.
