Manual No. 108033-003
For MS-DOS (with the device driver) to support
any two internal fixed disk drives, with one
expansion unit, two rules must be followed.
□ A maximum of two controllers may be
plugged into the system bus.
□ Each controller may support only two fixed
disk drives.
Example: With the use of two expansion
units, a total of 1.2 gigabytes of
fixed disk storage is available,
divided into four 300-Megabyte
volumes. This configuration with
switch settings is shown in
Figure 9-1.
NOTE: For maximum storage the system is
connected in the same way as duplexing
or mirroring. The only difference be-
tween maximum storage and mirroring or
duplexing is that the NOVELL software
need not be run when the system is con-
figured for maximum storage.
