See
Client LAN
below.
For a SPOFless cluster, two D5013B NICs configured with AFT is
recommended.
Intra-cluster
(Heartbeat) LAN
Embedded NIC with crossover cable, or, configure as a VLAN through an
ethernet switch.
See
Intra-cluster LAN
below.
Power source
Direct from power mains, power conditioner or uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) using any power conditioner or UPS.
Redundant power
distribution units (PDU’s) are strongly recommended.

I/O slot
Added cards may be installed in any appropriate slot, keeping in mind the
server’s default boot order as listed below:
Default Boot Order
IDE CD-ROM, FDD, SE SCSI C, Embedded A, Embedded B, PCI-8,
PCI-7, PCI64-6, PCI64-5, PCI64-4, PCI64-3, PCI64-2, PCI64-1

Storage
Local
Controller
May use embedded SCSI, embedded DAC, NetRAID-3Si or NetRAID-1Si.
For SPOFless, recommend embedded DAC with drives in RAID-1 mirror,
or another fault tolerant RAID level.
Driver
For embedded SCSI, use sym_hi.sys from Windows 2000 Adv. Server CD
version 5.00.2134.1 or later.
For embedded DAC and NetRAID-xSi, use mraid35x.sys version 2.62
(Navigator L.18.04.5 or later).
Cabinets (Physical drive
location)
SPU internal drive bays or HP external drive cabinet (e.g., HP Rack
Storage/12), any number.
Disk drives
Must be HP (hot swap or fixed)
SCSI bus
Any HP cables that meet SCSI specifications and any SCSI bus speed.
SCSI Ids
Any
