Installing an External Shared
Storage Device
A ProLiant StorageWorks Enclosure Model 4214 may be connected to the
shared storage area to provide additional shared storage drives.
IMPORTANT:
The total number of shared storage drives that the system can support is
limited to 14. This limitation is due to the number of available SCSI IDs and may not
reflect the number of drive bays available if external storage is connected to the system.
1.
Power down the shared storage area.
2.
Connect the cable for the StorageWorks enclosure to the external SCSI
connector in the rear of the shared storage area. Please refer to the
documentation that came with your StorageWorks Enclosure for more
details.
Figure 4-27.

Software User Guide.
CAUTION:
If the cable for the StorageWorks Enclosure to the SCSI connector of
the shared storage area is unplugged or removed while the system is active the
system will become inoperable and a loss of data may occur.
