RAID Cabling for IO Chassis 0 (Top Left and Top Right Hot Plug Hard Drives)
To set up the RAID cabling on the top left and top right hot plug hard drives, do the following:
Step 1.
Verify that the HP Smart Array controller card is installed in PCI slot 8 of the IO Chassis 0.
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.
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.
Step 4.
Plug the end of one of the cables with the pull-tab into the SCSI connector Port A2 on the Smart
Array card (Port 1 is near the rear of the server). Repeat for SCSI connector Port A1 (Port 2 is near
the center of the board).
