Server Platform Features
Peripheral Bay
One peripheral drive (either a slim-line CD-ROM drive or a slim-line DVD-ROM drive) can
be mounted in the system using a blind-mate peripheral drive carrier inserted into the
peripheral drive bay. The peripheral drive bay is located above the hard drive tray and to
the left.
Hard Disk Drives
The platform ships with two drive carriers for mounting hot swap Ultra320 SCSI hard disk
drives in the chassis.
For information on how to install these drives, see “
Installing or Removing a Hard Drive”.
NOTE
The Intel
®
Carrier Grade Server TIGI2U does not support all SCSI
hard drives. For a list of validated hard drive manufacturers and hard
drive types, see
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/TIGI2U
Drives can consume up to 17 watts of power each. Drives must be
specified to run at a maximum ambient temperature of 45 °C.
Interconnect System (SysCon) Board
The interface board is used in the CD-ROM drive carrier assembly as the signal and
power interface between the CD-ROM drive and the FPIO system board. The interface
board has standard IDE and power connectors for interfacing to the CD-ROM drive, and
has a high-density blind-mate connector for interfacing to the FPIO system board.
