SCSI Cabling Guidelines
Determining the Cables you Need
The following guidelines are provided as an overview for first-time cable
connections and installation in the ProLiant 1850R server. Only controllers
listed in the tables below are supported by the ProLiant 1850R server. Refer to
these tables to determine the parts that are necessary for successful cabling
solutions for the ProLiant 1850R.
To customize the cabling needs of your Compaq ProLiant 1850R Server to your
specific application, follow the procedure below:
1.
Determine whether the cabling needs are internal or external.
2.
Determine whether external cabling needs are for primary storage (hard
drive) or for secondary storage (tape drive or CD-ROM drive in the
removable media bay).
3.
Identify the controller type.
4.
Identify the drive type, and expansion slot to be used.
