sequencing allows Manufacturing to configure storage options in the appropriate cabinet.

• List storage options to be integrated in system cabinet immediately following the system part number.

• List storage options to be integrated in StorageWorks cabinet immediately following StorageWorks cabinet part

number.

Internal Storage

two pairs of expansion bays (front-to-back) in bottom of system cabinet can hold one Battery PIU, one PCI
PIU plus one SCSI disk PIU, one SCSI disk PIU, or two SCSI disk PIUs.

• System cabinet provides space for up to seven StorageWorks shelves— three BA670-AB Plug-in Units (each
includes two StorageWorks shelves) and one BA671-AA StorageWorks shelf mounted in a DWLPB; each
shelf holds a maximum of two 5.25″ devices and one 3.5″ device or seven 3.5″ devices

• UltraSCSI devices are supported in UltraSCSI StorageWorks PIUs and UltraSCSI StorageWorks shelves;
BA670-Ax and BA671-Ax support wide and narrow SCSI 5400 rpm, 7200 rpm, and 10,000 rpm disk drives
