Chapter 3 Mount the Drive in the NetServer E 45 or E 50 • Record information about the new hard disk setup, including: model number, capacity, and SCSI. • Reassemble the HP NetServer. • Connect all the cables and power cords. • Turn on power to the HP NetServer. Step 4: Configure the Drive Configure the SCSI controller for the drive using the SCSI SelectTM utility. • If the SCSI controller is not yet configured, run the SCSI Select utility, included with your system. • Consult your operating system documentation for information on how best to format the disk drive for this HP NetServer. Typically, you create one or more partitions on your new hard drive, using the guidelines in Appendix B, "Disk Drive Characteristics." CAUTION No low level format is needed. HP performs the low-level format at the factory. • Initialize the file system, using the operating system format utility. NOTE If you are experiencing problems with the drive, watch the messages on your monitor while the system boots. A message appears if a drive is not recognized by the HP NetServer (which happens when the HP NetServer attempts to communicate with a drive before the drive has finished spinning up). If the system did not recognize a hard drive: • Wait until all drives reach full speed. • Press the Reset button on the system or press the Ctrl+Alt+Del hot-key combination to restart the HP NetServer without powering it down. Do not power-down (power-cycle) the system to restart it, as this causes all the drives to stop spinning. 21
