F-2 Upgrading from the SMART SCSI Array Controller 3. Upgrade your System ROM to the most current version using the Compaq System ROMPaq v2.22 or later. This step is a fundamental requirement. The System ROM must be upgraded before installing the SMART-2DH Controller. Your SMART-2DH Array Controller Option Kit may include a diskette containing System ROMPaq v2.22 or later. If so, use that diskette to upgrade the system ROM. Otherwise, System ROMPaq is distributed on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD included in the SMART-2DH Array Controller option kit. Due to possible data loss, do not use System ROMPaq version 2.21 distributed on Support Software CD v1.18 or 1.19 or on SmartStart 2.50 or 2.50a. Review Chapter 2 in this guide for specific instructions on running System ROMPaq. 4. Perform a normal shutdown and turn OFF the server. 5. Examine the SCSI cable connector layouts. They differ between the SMART Controller and the SMART-2DH Controller. See Figure F-1. The SMART Controller has a 100-pin external connector on the mounting bracket that connects to the Y cable that separates into two 50-pin Fast-SCSI-2 connectors, Port 1 and Port 2. These port numbers should be labeled on the Y cable and can be connected to external drives in Compaq ProLiant Storage Systems or other external storage units. Port 1 is also available as an internal connector on the top edge of the controller for internal drive connections. Note that Port 1 can be used either internally or externally, but it cannot be used both ways at the same time. Note the existing cable connections and port numbers for your system before disconnecting any cables. The SMART-2DH Controller has an external 68-pin Fast-Wide SCSI-2 connector on the mounting bracket for Port 2 only. There is an internal 68-pin Fast-Wide SCSI-2 connector at the top edge of the controller for Port 1. This port can be used for internal drives through a standard internal ribbon cable, or for external drives through a special internal/external cable (included) and a connector panel or slot connector bracket (included) at the back of the server. This allows Port 1 connections to external drives in Compaq ProLiant Storage Systems. There is no Y cable required for the SMART-2DH Controller.

3.
Upgrade your System ROM to the most current version using the
Compaq System ROMPaq v2.22 or later. This step is a fundamental
requirement. The System ROM
must
be upgraded before installing the
SMART-2DH Controller. Your SMART-2DH Array Controller Option
Kit may include a diskette containing System ROMPaq v2.22 or later.
If so, use that diskette to upgrade the system ROM. Otherwise, System
ROMPaq is distributed on the Compaq SmartStart and Support
Software CD included in the SMART-2DH Array Controller option kit.
Due to possible data loss, do not use System ROMPaq version 2.21
distributed on Support Software CD v1.18 or 1.19 or on SmartStart
2.50 or 2.50a. Review Chapter 2 in this guide for specific instructions
on running System ROMPaq.
4.
Perform a normal shutdown and turn OFF the server.
5.
Examine the SCSI cable connector layouts. They differ between the
SMART Controller and the SMART-2DH Controller. See Figure F-1.
The
SMART Controller
has a 100-pin external connector on the
mounting bracket that connects to the Y cable that separates into two
50-pin Fast-SCSI-2 connectors, Port 1 and Port 2. These port numbers
should be labeled on the Y cable and can be connected to external drives
in Compaq ProLiant Storage Systems or other external storage units.
Port 1 is also available as an internal connector on the top edge of the
controller for internal drive connections. Note that Port 1 can be used
either internally or externally, but it cannot be used both ways at the
same time. Note the existing cable connections and port numbers for
your system before disconnecting any cables.
The
SMART-2DH Controller
has an external 68-pin Fast-Wide SCSI-2
connector on the mounting bracket for Port 2 only. There is an internal
68-pin Fast-Wide SCSI-2 connector at the top edge of the controller for
Port 1. This port can be used for internal drives through a standard
internal ribbon cable, or for external drives through a special
internal/external cable (included) and a connector panel or slot
connector bracket (included) at the back of the server. This allows Port
1 connections to external drives in Compaq ProLiant Storage Systems.
There is no Y cable required for the SMART-2DH Controller.
