4-24 Compaq ProLiant 8500 Servers Setup and Installation Guide NOTE: When a drive configured for fault tolerance is replaced, the replacement drive will automatically begin restoring when it is installed. When a drive is in the process of being restored, the Online LED will flash green. The LED will continue to flash until the drive is completely restored. External Storage Devices Optional mass storage devices can be connected to the ProLiant 8500 by installing a PCI expansion board with an external connector. For information on attaching to PCI expansion boards refer to the ProLiant SCSI Cabling Guide. For information on adding or removing PCI Hot Plug Expansion Boards see the "Adding Expansion Boards" section later in this chapter. To install an external storage device, refer to the installation documentation that came with the external storage device. The following illustration provides only an overview of this installation. 1. If the server is on, place it in Standby mode and disconnect the power cord(s). See Chapter 2, "Server Installation." 2. If the external storage device is on, disconnect the power. 3. Connect one end of the SCSI cable to the external Very High Density connector on the rear panel of the server. 4.
