2 How to Install Accessories In Your HP PC Workstation Installing Mass Storage Devices Disk Striping To achieve top performance through disk striping, a RAIDport™ is (Selected Models Only) 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 more stripped hard disks. For more information, refer to the HP FastRAID Installation and Configuration Guide that came with your PC Workstation. Before Installing an IDE Hard Disk Refer to the drive's installation guide to see if you must set jumpers or if there is a special installation procedure to follow. Before Installing a SCSI Hard Disk If you are installing an additional SCSI drive, you should assign an unused SCSI ID to this accessory. SCSI IDs range from 0 to 6 for Ultra narrow 8-bit SCSI and from 0 to 15 for Ultra wide 16-bit SCSI. SCSI ID 0 is used by the first SCSI hard disk drive and SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the integrated SCSI controller (the default for narrow and wide SCSI devices). NOTE 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 ID to the second SCSI hard disk drive (for example, SCSI ID 1). The SCSI ID 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 ID. 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 25
