Refer to the Important Notices section for important noticesxSeries 345 Internal SCSI CablingThe xSeries 345 includes eight front-accessible bays. The top right slim-line bay contains a slim-line 3.5indiskette drive and the top left slim-line bay contains a slim-line CD-ROM. Six slim-line, hot-swap HDDbays are located in the center of the front of the chassis.The system contains a DASD backplane supporting six hot-swap, SCA-2-compliant HDD bays. Thebackplane is connected to one of the connectors of the integrated Ultra320 SCSI controller through a 16-bit(nonterminated) LVD SCSI cable. In RAID configurations using ServeRAID-5i, no cable is required andboth channels of the integrated controller are managed by ServeRAID-5i. Internal RAID configurationsusing ServeRAID-4Mx or -4Lx require optional 30in nonterminated Single-drop Internal LVD Ultra160SCSI Cable (P/N 71P8995).External SCSI device attachment is facilitated by a dedicated 0.8mm VHDCI port on the rear of the systemchassis, which is connected to the second channel of the integrated controller. If ServeRAID-5i is installed,supported tape drives that can be installed in an external tape enclosure are limited (see Tape Optionssection). External tape enclosures are also supported by installing PCI Wide Ultra160 SCSI Adapter (P/N19K4646).The 24x-10x CD-ROM is connected to the IDE port through an interposer card.xSeries 345 Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and Optical Storage OptionsSBBNumberOptionNumberDescription Height BaysSupportedMaximumQuantity 1Hot-swap Ultra320 HDDs32P0746 32P0726 36.4GB 10K rpm Ultra320 SCSI Hot-swap HDD SL 1 ... 6 632P0747 32P0727 73.4GB 10K rpm Ultra320 SCSI Hot-swap HDD SL 1 ... 6 632P0748 32P0728 146.8GB 10K rpm Ultra320 SCSI Hot-swap HDD SL 1 ... 6 632P0744 32P0734 36.4GB 15K rpm Ultra320 SCSI Hot-swap HDD SL 1 ... 6 632P0745 32P0735 73.4GB 15K rpm Ultra320 SCSI Hot-swap HDD SL 1 ... 6 6Optical Devices59P5800 22P7047 8x Max Slimline DVD-ROM Drive 2External Storage Expansion Units 3BaysSupportedAForm Factor- 17331RU EXP400 Storage Expansion Unit Rack (3U)171010U FAStT EXP100 Storage Expansion Unit Rack (3U)- 17401RU FAStT EXP700 Storage Expansion Unit Rack (3U)- 172260U FAStT600 Storage Server (US line cord, English pubs) Rack (3U)- 17226LU FAStT600 Entry Storage Server Rack (3U)- 35601RU FAStT EXP500 Storage Expansion Unit Rack (3U)- 35421RU FAStT200 Storage Server 4Rack (3U)- 35422RU FAStT200 HA Storage Server Rack (3U)- 19K1121 FAStT200 Redundant RAID Controller -- 1724100 FAStT100 Storage Server Rack (3U)1. When integrated mirroring is enabled, the maximum quantity of HDDs supported is three (two mirrored and one hot-spare).2. Requires removing and replacing the standard optical device.3. To configure a SCSI storage device, select an optional SCSI controller then refer to Appendix D: Cables - Storage Units - Controllersto confirm the controller supports the desired External Storage Expansion Unit and to select a supported cable. For HDD or other expansionunit options, see the specific expansion unit section. For Fibre Channel storage devices, refer to the Fibre Channel SolutionsOverview section.4. Can be upgraded to FAStT200 HA Storage Server through the addition of a FAStT200 Redundant RAID Controller (P/N 19K1121).Chapter 16. xSeries 345 137
