Cabling for the HP Integrity rx7640 Server Recabling for RAID 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. If the server is running, shut down the OS, power off the server, and unplug the power cords. Step 2. Remove the top and left covers of the server. NOTE The HP Smart Array Card must be installed in slot 8 of the rx7640 server. This requires the LAN/SCSI card to be moved to slot 7 in the IO chassis. This will change the boot paths of any devices connected to the external SCSI connectors on the LAN/SCSI card. Step 3. Carefully disconnect the flat ribbon cable from the LAN/SCSI card installed in slot 8 of IO chassi 1. The ribbon cable will be re-used in the RAID configuration. Step 4. Label and dissconnect any external cables from the LAN/SCSI card installed in slot 8 of IO chassis 1. Step 5. Remove the LAN/SCSI card from the server and set it aside to be installed later Step 6. Retrieve one cable from the cable kit (A7027-63001). Step 7. Identify the new cable using the colored cable ties which are also contained in the cable kit. Use two of the same color ties on the cable. NOTE One end of the 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 8. Route the end of the cable with the pull-tab through the PCI Card cage handle on the left side of the server. See Figure 5-2.

Cabling for the HP Integrity rx7640 Server
Recabling for RAID
Chapter 5
47
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.
If the server is running, shut down the OS, power off the server, and unplug the power cords.
Step 2.
Remove the top and left covers of the server.
NOTE
The HP Smart Array Card must be installed in slot 8 of the rx7640 server. This
requires the LAN/SCSI card to be moved to slot 7 in the IO chassis. This will change
the boot paths of any devices connected to the external SCSI connectors on the
LAN/SCSI card.
Step 3.
Carefully disconnect the flat ribbon cable from the LAN/SCSI card installed in slot 8 of IO chassi 1.
The ribbon cable will be re-used in the RAID configuration.
Step 4.
Label and dissconnect any external cables from the LAN/SCSI card installed in slot 8 of IO chassis
1.
Step 5.
Remove the LAN/SCSI card from the server and set it aside to be installed later
Step 6.
Retrieve one cable from the cable kit (A7027-63001).
Step 7.
Identify the new cable using the colored cable ties which are also contained in the cable kit. Use two
of the same color ties on the cable.
NOTE
One end of the 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 8.
Route the end of the cable with the pull-tab through the PCI Card cage handle on the left side of the
server. See Figure 5-2.
