The xSeries 235 contains 10 drive bays in the standard base configuration. The six 3.5in hot-swap bays on the lower half of the chassis front support Ultra320 or
Ultra160 hot-swap HDDs. The four media bays above the HDD bays include a 3.5in bay for the standard floppy disk drive (FDD) and a 5.25in bay containing the
standard CD-ROM. The two open 5.25in media bays are available for removable media devices such as tape drives, or an Ultra320 3-bay kit can be installed in
two available media bays to provide a hot-swap backplane that supports three slim-line hot-swap HDDs.
The standard six-bay hot-swap backplane connects to one channel of the dual-channel integrated Ultra320 storage controller through a single-drop 16-bit LVD
SCSI cable. If internal RAID is required, this cable cannot be used to connect optional ServeRAID-4H, -4Mx or -4Lx controllers to the hot-swap backplane. Instead,
optional Single-drop Internal LVD Ultra160 SCSI Cable (P/N 71P8995) must be purchased. If the RAID controller is ServeRAID-5i, a cable is not required and both
channels of the integrated controller are managed by ServeRAID-5i. The standard SCSI cable cannot be used to connect to an optional SCSI media device
because it is not terminated.
One full-high or half-high tape drive can be installed in the available media bays. The terminated LVD SCSI cable provided with the tape drive can be used to
connect the tape drive to the integrated controller if ServeRAID-4H, -4Mx or -4Lx are installed (or if no RAID controller is installed). If ServeRAID-5i is installed, only
supported tape drives can be connected to the RAID bus (see Tape Options section). If the tape drive is not supported for RAID attachment or the configuration
does not require the tape drive to be installed on the RAID bus, PCI Wide Ultra160 SCSI Adapter (P/N 19K4646) is required.
External tape drive support requires installation of External SCSI Interface Kit (P/N 32P8164) to connect the external port to the second channel of the integrated
controller. The external port cannot be enabled if both channels of the integrated controller are connected internally. If ServeRAID-5i is installed, only RAIDsupported
tape drives can be installed in the tape enclosure. An external tape enclosure is also supported by installing PCI Wide Ultra160 SCSI Adapter (P/N
19K4646), in which case the External SCSI Interface Kit is no longer required.
For additional information regarding internal cabling, refer to Appendix F: Internal Cabling Overview.

This table does not represent all possible memory configurations. Memory modules may vary in price per MB. Selection of smaller RDIMMs
may provide a more cost-effective alternative to using larger RDIMMs.
1. Network operating systems may limit the maximum amount of addressable memory. See operating system specifications for further
information.
2. To obtain the quantity of memory identified in the “Total Memory” column, select the appropriate row and order the quantity of RDIMMs
identified in all columns for that row.
3. Requires replacing the standard RDIMMs.
