 | View Full Version : dell 1550 question regier 01-12-2002, 04:08 AM Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to mount an IDE backup drive in the dell 1550 servers. I am hoping that someone here has tried it and can let me know if it is possible or not. If not, is is possible to do with the 2550's. RackMy.com 01-12-2002, 11:53 AM No, you cannot with the 1550 or the 2550. mattan 01-12-2002, 12:15 PM Do you think that would work with an IDE harddrive? RackMy.com 01-12-2002, 06:18 PM I think you should be able to if you add a 3rd party IDE controller as the 1400SC is a SCSI based system (but it does not have a backplane) regier 01-12-2002, 08:07 PM Thanks for the feedback. I figured it was probably a no go, but it was worth a shot. Seeing as the servers have an IDE cd-rom, wouldn't they already be set up for IDE support? RackMy.com 01-13-2002, 12:22 AM The problem is that the sleds & backplane are set-up with SCSI connections. regier 01-13-2002, 03:54 PM Ahh, Thanks for the help. |
