Abstract
This guide provides requirements and procedures for connecting an XP disk array or SVS 200 to a host system, and for
configuring the disk array for use with a specific operating system. This document is intended for system administrators, HP
representatives, and authorized service providers who are involved in installing, configuring, and operating XP disk arrays.
