Cabling for the HP Integrity rx7620 Server Recabling for RAID Dual Partition Configurations Figure 4-3 shows the correct cabling for a dual partition configuration, as viewed from the front of the server. Figure 4-3 Smart Array 6402 or 6404 Controller Card with Dual Partition Cabling Setting up RAID Cabling for IO Chassis 1 (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 1-7. 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 the cable with the pull-tab into the SCSI connector port A1 on the Smart Array card. Repeat for SCSI connector port A2. Step 5. Route the other end of the cables out through the left hand side of the server. Step 6. Route the cables towards the front of the server and over to the mass storage connectors. Step 7. Unplug the existing SCSI ribbon cables for the top left and top right HDDs (use the label behind the connectors to determine which connector goes to which drive). Chapter 4 41

Setting up RAID Cabling for IO Chassis 1 (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 1-7.
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 the cable with the pull-tab into the SCSI connector port A1 on the Smart Array
card. Repeat for SCSI connector port A2.
Step 5.
Route the other end of the cables out through the left hand side of the server.
Step 6.
Route the cables towards the front of the server and over to the mass storage connectors.
Step 7.
Unplug the existing SCSI ribbon cables for the top left and top right HDDs (use the label behind
the connectors to determine which connector goes to which drive).
