NetServer e50 IDE hard drive

I have a client that needs to have their drive storage increased. I found a parts list for the e50, and it appears that the box will accept IDE hard drives. I also read elsewhere that the e50 does not support IDE drives. Which is true? What is the size limitation?

I also wanted to add that this IDE drive will not be booted from, just being used as additional storage.

Re: NetServer e50 IDE hard drive

IDE hard drives were not tested by HP on the Netserver E50. Consequently it is not supported by HP.
From attempts by other customers it would appear that the E50 System BIOS can only see an 8-9 GB IDE drive.

By reading the other posts, that what I was able to find. However, many stated that the BIOS would not see it as the full 20GB, Windows NT would. Any thoughts?
