Chapter 3 Installing Mass Storage Devices

• IDE Devices
o The embedded IDE controller is an Enhanced-IDE dual channel
controller and provides two connectors (IDE-1 and IDE-2) for IDE
devices.
Refer to Figure A-1,"System Board Layout," in Appendix A,
"Specifications."
o The IDE CD-ROM has only one connector on the cable from the primary
channel (IDE-1) connector.
o A secondary IDE connector (IDE-2) is available, but is not used.
• SCSI Device Selection
o Use only HP LVD low profile (1 inch) SCSI 3.5-inch hard disk drives for
the Hot Swap drive bays.
o If mounting available SCSI drives in drive trays, ensure you use the
mounting tray adapter recommended by HP, which is HP part number
P2452A.
o Ensure the SCSI devices you install in Hot Swap bays do not have
terminations installed. The Hot Swap backplane provides automatic
termination for any unused bays. The HP Hot Swap SCSI drives come set
without device ID or termination. Do not change these settings.
o Do not use high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices on either of the
SCSI channels or damage will occur.
o The embedded dual-channel Ultra-3 SCSI controller includes connectors
for SCSI channels A and B.
o Channel A is used for connection to the SCSI backplane board, which
provides three 80-pin connectors for Hot Swap SCSI drives. The standard
SCSI cable has one 68-pin, high-density connector for the SCSI
backplane, which provides for automatic termination of the SCSI drives.
o Channel B is used to control external mass storage devices, including an
external backup tape drive.
Channel B is connected to the external 68-pin SCSI connector on the rear
of the Netserver.
