Ultra SCSI mode is supported for disks installed in the HP NetServer cabinet and in the HP NetServer Rack Storage System 8 and 12. Troubleshooting SCO OpenServer is very specific about the hardware configuration it expects when installing. The following limitations apply: The root hard disk and the install device should both be on the primary SCSI channel. The root hard disk must be SCSI ID 0. The first SCSI tape drive must be SCSI ID 2. The first SCSI CD-ROM drive must be SCSI ID 5, or for an IDE CD-ROM use the CD-ROM as the master device. The correct SCSI ID is especially important if you are installing from the tape or CDROM drive. If you have a complicated hardware configuration, install SCO OpenServer using only the minimum system required to install. All additional hardware can be added afterwards. N1 and N2 Diskettes SCO OpenServer comes on floppies, QIC525 tape, or CD-ROM. All versions prior to OpenServer 5.0.5 require booting the system off the N1 Installation diskette, and perhaps using the N2 diskette, to build a rudimentary UNIX system as part of the installation process. OpenServer 5.0.5 has a bootable CD-ROM for installation.
