SCSI Hard Drives Preinstallation Instructions © Copyright 2006 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice. The only warranties for HP products and services are set forth in the express warranty statements accompanying such products and services. Nothing herein should be construed as constituting an additional warranty. HP shall not be liable for technical or editorial errors or omissions contained herein. May 2006 (First Edition) Part Number 431556-001 Overview This document provides handling procedures for SCSI hard drives, and information on locating and setting the SCSI ID. See the manual that ships with your server for installation instructions. Hard drive handling precautions Hard drives are sensitive, electromechanical devices that can be permanently damaged through improper handling. The packaging provided with the hard drive is designed to protect it from accidental drops. HP recommends that hard drives remain in their original packaging until installation. Drives should be handled with care and never dropped, even from short distances, onto a hard surface. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, allow the drives to cool before handling. Some drive surfaces might become hot to the touch during normal operation. CAUTION: HP does not provide any serviceable parts in any hard drives. Attempting to service any hard drive will void applicable warranties. Electrostatic discharge information CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are properly grounded before beginning this procedure. See the documentation that came with your server, or contact your authorized HP reseller for procedures to discharge static electricity. A discharge of static electricity can damage static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. To prevent electrostatic discharge: • Transport products in their original packaging until installation. • Always be properly grounded when touching a static- sensitive component or assembly. Setting SCSI IDs Each SCSI device on the same SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. To set the SCSI ID: 1. Read and understand the "SCSI bus requirements" section on this card. 2. Locate the SCSI ID jumpers on your hard drive. 3. Set the SCSI ID between 0 and 6 using the SCSI bit jumpers. See the "SCSI ID settings" section on this card.
