2-2 Guidelines for Making Changes to Current Installation Drive Considerations If you will be installing or replacing drives in your Compaq server, keep in mind that: s Drives may be Fast-SCSI-2, Fast-Wide SCSI-2, Wide-Ultra SCSI, or a mixture of the three in servers and storage systems supporting hot-pluggable drives. s Drives should not contain termination. Compaq servers and internal cabling provide the required termination of the SCSI bus. s Compaq hard drives supported by the SMART-2DH Controller include: 1.05-GB Fast-SCSI-2 2.1-GB Fast-SCSI-2 2.1-GB Fast-Wide SCSI-2 2.1-GB Wide-Ultra SCSI 4.3-GB Fast-SCSI-2 4.3-GB Fast-Wide SCSI-2 4.3-GB Wide-Ultra SCSI 9.1-GB Wide-Ultra SCSI 9.1-GB Fast-SCSI-2 18.2-GB Wide-Ultra SCSI 3 s Drives should be of the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when grouped together into the same drive array. s Except on hot-plug drives in ProLiant servers and storage systems, you must manually set the SCSI ID on each drive to a unique value in the range of 0 to 6 for each SCSI bus. Consult the documentation that came with the drive for instructions on setting the SCSI ID. Determining the Maximum Storage Maximum storage capacity factors of a server include: s subtract any option slots used for other purposes s available internal drive bays s availability of external connectors for SCSI Bus 1 (requires connector panel location or vacant option slot) Writer: Pamela King Project: SMART-2DH Array Controller Reference Guide Comments: 295469-002 File Name: C-CH02.DOC Last Saved On: 2/27/98 11:25 AM COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
