Figure 5-9 Folded SCSI Connector Cabling for the HP Integrity rx7640 Server Recabling for RAID Step 14. Plug a new cable into the mass storage connector for the top left drive. Step 15. Unplug the existing SCSI ribbon cable for the bottom left HDD (disk 3) and fold the SCSI connector on the ribbon cable so it will lay in front of the connector on the Mass Storage Backplane. See Figure 5-6 and Figure 5-9. Step 16. Pull any excess cable into the PCI card cage of the server. Step 17. Install one of the HP Smart Array Controller Cards into slot 8 of IO chassis 1 of the server. Step 18. Reinstall the LAN/SCSI Core IO card from chassis 1 into slot 7 of IO chassis 1. Step 19. Install the other HP Smart Array Controller Card into slot 8 of IO chassis 0 of the server. Step 20. Reinstall the LAN/SCSI Core IO card from chassis 0 into slot 7 of IO chassis 0. Step 21. Bend and crease the flat SCSI cables so they align with prot A1 on the HP Smart Array Controller Cards. Step 22. Connect the flat SCSI cables to port A1 of the HP Smart Array Controller Cards. (closest to the front of the server). See Figure 5-10. Step 23. Connect the round SCSI cable connected to the top left HDD to port A2 of the HP Smart Array Controller Card installed in slot 8 of IO Chassis 1. See Figure 5-10. Step 24. Connect the round SCSI cable connected to the bottom left HDD to port A2 of the HP Smart Array Controller Card installed in slot 8 of IO Chassis 0. See Figure 5-10. Step 25. Re-connect any other cables disconnected during installation. Step 26. Arrange the new cables so that all of the slack is located in the PCI area. Step 27. Loop the cable slack and wrap a Kwik Wrap around it to maintain the slack. This allows servicing of the other PCI cards. See Figure 5-10 and Figure 5-11. Chapter 5 53

Step 14.
Plug a new cable into the mass storage connector for the top left drive.
Step 15.
Unplug the existing SCSI ribbon cable for the bottom left HDD (disk 3) and fold the SCSI connector
on the ribbon cable so it will lay in front of the connector on the Mass Storage Backplane. See
Figure 5-6 and Figure 5-9.
Step 16.
Pull any excess cable into the PCI card cage of the server.
Step 17.
Install one of the HP Smart Array Controller Cards into slot 8 of IO chassis 1 of the server.
Step 18.
Reinstall the LAN/SCSI Core IO card from chassis 1 into slot 7 of IO chassis 1.
Step 19.
Install the other HP Smart Array Controller Card into slot 8 of IO chassis 0 of the server.
Step 20.
Reinstall the LAN/SCSI Core IO card from chassis 0 into slot 7 of IO chassis 0.
Step 21.
Bend and crease the flat SCSI cables so they align with prot A1 on the HP Smart Array Controller
Cards.
Step 22.
Connect the flat SCSI cables to port A1 of the HP Smart Array Controller Cards. (closest to the
front of the server). See Figure 5-10.
Step 23.
Connect the round SCSI cable connected to the top left HDD to port A2 of the HP Smart Array
Controller Card installed in slot 8 of IO Chassis 1. See Figure 5-10.
Step 24.
Connect the round SCSI cable connected to the bottom left HDD to port A2 of the HP Smart Array
Controller Card installed in slot 8 of IO Chassis 0. See Figure 5-10.
Step 25.
Re-connect any other cables disconnected during installation.
Step 26.
Arrange the new cables so that all of the slack is located in the PCI area.
Step 27.
Loop the cable slack and wrap a Kwik Wrap around it to maintain the slack. This allows servicing
of the other PCI cards. See Figure 5-10 and Figure 5-11.
