Cabling for the HP 9000 rp3440 Server
Recabling for RAID
Chapter 7

Recabling for RAID
If the HP Smart Array controller card is not pre-installed in your server from the factory, then the rp3440
internal hard drives are connected to the integrated SCSI controller with two internal SCSI cables attached
to the system board and the hard drive backplane, as follows:
•
One of the internal SCSI cables (p/n A7231-63017) connects to the CH A connector of the hard drive
backplane, and is then routed and connected to physical drives 0 and 1 (see Figure 7-5 and Figure 7-6).
•
The other SCSI cable (p/n A7231-63018) connects to the CH B connector of the hard drive backplane, and
is then routed and connected to physical drive 2 (see Figure 7-5 and Figure 7-6).

Physical Drive Location (front of server)
Your server's internal hard disk drives can be set up for single or dual channel RAID support. To use RAID
with your server's internal hard disk drives, you must disconnect the internal SCSI cable(s) from their
controller and the hard disk drive backplane (described below) and remove them from the system. Then you
must connect the HP Smart Array controller card to the hard disk drive backplane using the supplied single
channel cable or dual channel cable, as described below.
Step 1.
To gain access to the hard drive backplane and the internal SCSI cables, you must first remove fans
2 and 3. See Figure 7-7 for their location, then proceed to the next step.
