The Smart Array 3200 Controller uses two VHDCI external and two 68-
pin Fast-Wide SCSI-2 internal connectors on optional daughterboards;
therefore:
❏ If you are connecting to Fast-SCSI-2 internal drives, you must attach
a 68-pin to 50-pin cable adapter (included in the Smart Array 3200
Controller option kit) to an internal connector on the optional
daughterboard to use your existing 50-pin internal ribbon cable.
❏ If you are connecting to a Fast-SCSI-2 external storage system, use
a VHDCI to 50-pin external cable, which must be ordered
separately.
❏ If you are connecting to a Fast-Wide SCSI-2 external storage
system, use a VHDCI to 68-pin external cable included with the
ProLiant Storage System.
For more detailed information on cable connections for your system,
refer to your server documentation.
6. Remove the SMART or SMART-2 Controller and replace it with the
Smart Array 3200 Controller. Refer to the Smart Array 3200 Controller
Installation Guide. It is not necessary to put the new controller in the
same expansion slot as the old controller.
