HP Kayak XU 03xx PC Workstation - Installing Accessories In Your HP PC Workstation Installing Mass Storage Devices Disk Striping NOTE Before Installing an IDE Hard Disk Before Installing a SCSI Hard Disk NOTE To achieve top performance through disk striping, a RAIDport™ is provided on the system board aligned with PCI socket 3. When the Adaptec® RAIDport adapter is installed in the PCI socket and RAIDport, the adapter sets up and accelerates disk striping on hard disks connected to the internal UltraWide 16-bit SCSI controller. The Adaptec® RAIDport adapter should be used with one or two stripped hard disks. Disk striping is supported only in Windows NT 4.0. The Adaptec CI/O Array Manager software can be used to manage and view the performance of the adapter. Although the RAIDport adapter is normally set up to maximize disk performance ("RAID 0" configuration), it can instead be configured to provide mirroring for extra data security ("RAID 1" configuration). Refer to the drive's installation guide to see if you must set jumpers or if there is a special installation procedure to follow. If you are installing an additional SCSI drive, you should assign an unused SCSI address to this accessory. SCSI addresses range from 0 to 7 for Ultra narrow 8-bit SCSI and from 0 to 15 for Ultra wide 16-bit SCSI. SCSI address 0 is used by the first SCSI hard disk drive and SCSI address 7 is reserved for the integrated SCSI controller (the default for narrow and wide SCSI devices). You do not need to select a SCSI address for Plug and Play SCSI hard disks (SCSI hard disks that support the SCAM protocol). SCAM is disabled if the RAIDport adapter is installed. You should assign an unused SCSI address to the second SCSI hard disk drive (for example, SCSI address 1). The SCSI address is usually configured with jumpers on the SCSI hard disk drive. Refer to the installation guide supplied with the drive for information on selecting a SCSI address. Some internal SCSI disk drives may have termination resistors that must be removed or disabled before installation in your computer. Refer to the drive's installation guide for more details and to see if there is a special installation procedure to follow. English 15
