Table: PowerEdge T610 supported TBUs
F. Optical Drives
SATA optical drives are optional in all PowerEdge T610 systems and connect to the planar via the SATA
interface to ICH9. IDE (PATA) optical drives are not supported.
The following internal optical drives are available on the PowerEdge T610: DVD‑ROM and DVD+/‑RW.
If the optical drive is not ordered with the system, a blank is installed in its place. In the absence of tape
drive, an optional second SATA optical drive is installed in the bay adjacent to the first optical drive.
G. Tape Drives
A tape backup unit (TBU) is optional in all PowerEdge T610 systems and connects to the planar SATA,
SCSI controller card, or SAS controller card. An IDE tape drive is not supported.
The PowerEdge T610 supports a maximum of one half‑height or one full‑height TBU. A full‑height TBU
would take up both drive bays and would prevent an optical drive from being installed.
The following tape drives are available for usage on the PowerEdge T610: internal SATA, SCSI, and SAS
drives; external SCSI and SAS drives. Internal SCSI tape drives connect through the LSI 2032 PCI Express
SCSI adapter card. SAS TBUs connect through the SAS5iR card.
If the tape drive is not ordered with the system, a blank is installed in its place.
