About This Guide

This document updates information in your Dell™ system documentation.
To operate your system's SCSI hard-disk drives in a split 2 x 2 or 2 x 3 configuration, you
must install a second, optional daughter card. This daughter card connects to the SCSI
backplane board at the back of your system's hard-disk drive bays. Figure 1-1 shows the
location of the SCSI backplane board and other components associated with the SCSI
hard-disk drives.
