RAID Cabling for IO Chassis 1 (Bottom Left and Bottom Right Hot Plug Hard
Drives)
To set up the RAID cabling on the bottom left and bottom right hot plug hard drives, do the following, from
the front of the server:
Step 1.
Verify that the HP Smart Array controller card is installed in PCI slot 8 of IO Chassis 1.
Step 2.
Retrieve two cables from the cable kit (A7027-63001).
Step 3.
Identify the new cables using the colored cable ties which are also contained in the cable kit (for
each cable, use two of the same color, one on each end). Using a different color tie on each cable
makes it easier to identify the cables for installation and servicing.
NOTE
One end of each cable has a pull-tab connected to the SCSI connector which is
labeled “This Connector to PCI Card”. This end of the cable connects to the HP Smart
Array card.
