Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices o If a backup tape drive is used, it occupies shelf 3, leaving only three mass storage devices available for shelves 4-6, and at least one is required for the boot drive. • IDE Devices o The embedded IDE controller is an Enhanced-IDE dual channel controller and provides two connectors (IDE-1 and IDE-2) for IDE devices. Refer to "System Board Layout" in Appendix A, "Specifications." o The IDE CD-ROM uses one connector on the cable from the IDE-2 connector, leaving one connector for the optional third hard drive on the IDE model. The CD-ROM is configured as the master device, unless a third HDD is installed, which should be configured for the master device. For the SCSI model the second IDE-2 connector could be used for any additional IDE device, such as IDE hard drive. o The primary IDE connector (IDE-1) and cable is used for the first or standard hard IDE drive and the second optional hard drive, but this cable is not provided for the SCSI model. The bundled IDE CD-ROM and hard disk drive were put on separate IDE connectors to improve performance. • SCSI Devices o Use only low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI devices o Do not use high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices in the Server or damage to the controller and other devices may occur. o Ensure the SCSI devices you install do not have terminations installed. The SCSI drives are connected to a terminated cable and don't require termination on the SCSI drive. o Use only HP Ultra 160 SCSI LVD (1-inch) low profile 3.5-inch hard disk drives for the removable hard disk drive cage. o Only use an HP Ultra 160 SCSI LVD drive as the optional third drive. o The optional HP backup tape drive comes with a 50-to-68-pin adapter to connect to the 68-pin SCSI connector on the SCSI cable used for connection of backup tape drive. The optional HP backup tape drive may slow down access time for the Ultra-160 SCSI hard drives. If this is the case, HP recommends adding another single channel SCSI controller to control the slower backup tape drive. 24

Installing Mass Storage Devices
24
o
If a backup tape drive is used, it occupies shelf 3, leaving only three mass
storage devices available for shelves 4-6, and at least one is required for
the boot drive.
•
IDE Devices
o
The embedded IDE controller is an Enhanced-IDE dual channel controller
and provides two connectors (IDE-1 and IDE-2) for IDE devices.
Refer to "System Board Layout" in Appendix A, "Specifications."
o
The IDE CD-ROM uses one connector on the cable from the IDE-2
connector, leaving one connector for the optional third hard drive on the
IDE model. The CD-ROM is configured as the master device, unless a
third HDD is installed, which should be configured for the master device.
For the SCSI model the second IDE-2 connector could be used for any
additional IDE device, such as IDE hard drive.
o
The primary IDE connector (IDE-1) and cable is used for the first or
standard hard IDE drive and the second optional hard drive, but this cable
is not provided for the SCSI model.
The bundled IDE CD-ROM and hard disk drive were put on separate IDE
connectors to improve performance.
•
SCSI Devices
o
Use only low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI devices
o
Do not use high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices in the Server or
damage to the controller and other devices may occur.
o
Ensure the SCSI devices you install do not have terminations installed.
The SCSI drives are connected to a terminated cable and don't require
termination on the SCSI drive.
o
Use only HP Ultra 160 SCSI LVD (1-inch) low profile 3.5-inch hard disk
drives for the removable hard disk drive cage.
o
Only use an HP Ultra 160 SCSI LVD drive as the optional third drive.
o
The optional HP backup tape drive comes with a 50-to-68-pin adapter to
connect to the 68-pin SCSI connector on the SCSI cable used for
connection of backup tape drive.
The optional HP backup tape drive may slow down access time for the
Ultra-160 SCSI hard drives. If this is the case, HP recommends adding
another single channel SCSI controller to control the slower backup tape
drive.
