SCSI Hard Drive Installation
Guidelines
The following guidelines should be noted when adding SCSI hard drives. See
Chapter 4, “SCSI Cabling Instructions for Mass Storage SCSI Devices,” for
additional information.
■
As a general rule, a maximum of seven SCSI devices may be added per
controller. Because of each server’s physical and configuration
constraints, the maximum number will be different.
■
You must set the SCSI ID manually on each drive to a unique value in the
range of 0 to 6. Consult the documentation that came with the drive for
instructions on setting the SCSI ID.
■
If only one SCSI hard drive is used, it should be installed in the lowest-
numbered bay.
■
Compaq SCSI non-hot-plug cables are terminated. Be sure to remove
all terminating jumpers from third-party SCSI devices.
■
Drives may be Fast-SCSI-2, Fast-Wide SCSI-2, Wide-Ultra SCSI-3, or a
mixture of the three in servers and storage systems.
■
Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space
efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive array.
■
Run System Configuration Utility after installing a drive.
