Chapter 3 Installing Mass Storage Devices
19
CAUTION To prevent damage to the Hot Swap SCSI hard disk drives,
don't use a HVD (high voltage differential) DAC controller.
If the hardware mirroring option is required (which uses the SCSI channel of the
HP NetRAID Controller board), refer to " Optional SCSI Drive Controller" later in
this chapter. The instructions describe how to move the SCSI cable from the
system board to the SCSI connector on the HP NetRAID Controller board. Refer
to the documentation provided by the supported HP NetRAID Controller board for
external cabling requirements.
Installed Mass Storage Devices
Table 3-1 lists the number and types of mass storage devices that may be installed
into the HP Netserver LP 1000r.

bay 1
IDE-1 1* Factory installed CD-ROM drive in drive bay
2 (Primary IDE connector)
Ultra-3 SCSI
Channel A
up to 3 **
• Factory installed Hot Swap SCSI hard
drive in drive bay 3 (address = ID 0)
• Up to two additional Hot Swap SCSI hard
disk drives in bays 4 and 5
(addresses = ID 1 and ID 2, respectively)
• Embedded SCSI controller
(address = ID 7)
Ultra-3 SCSI
Channel B
up to 15 **
• Control of up to 15 external SCSI devices
* The primary IDE (IDE-1) cable is connected to the factory-installed CD-ROM drive. A
secondary IDE connector (IDE-2) is available, but is not supported by Hewlett-Packard.
** Both SCSI channels (A and B) can each support up to 15 devices; however, there are
only enough internal storage bays for three Hot Swap SCSI hard drives. Channel B is used
to control external SCSI devices, typically a SCSI tape back-up device.
