Installing Hardware Options Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drives The server provides support for up to six internal hot-plug SCSI hard drives or four internal hot-pug SCSI hard drives and one Universal Hot-Plug Tape Drive. SCSI Hard Drive Installation Guidelines Observe the following guidelines when adding SCSI hard drives. Refer to Chapter 7, "Server Configuration and Utilities," for additional information. • The SCSI ID for each hot-plug hard drive is set automatically to the next sequential ID number in a series beginning with ID0. • If only one SCSI hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest number. • Refer to the user documentation for configuring internal or external drives. • Hot-plug hard drives must be either Wide Ultra2 or Ultra3 SCSI types. Mixing these types with other drive standards degrades the overall performance of the drive subsystem. • Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive array. CAUTION: Before removing a hard drive, refer to the Servers Troubleshooting Guide for guidelines on hot-plug SCSI hard drive replacement. • Add up to a maximum of 14 SCSI devices per channel. • Each SCSI drive must have a unique address. The system automatically sets all SCSI addresses for hot-plug drives. 3-38 HP ProLiant ML370 Generation 3 Server Setup and Installation Guide
