Chapter 2 Installation Step 6: Install SCSI Cable About Cabling the Secondary Cage The HP NetServer is normally shipped with the primary mass storage cage connected to the SCSI A connector on the I/O baseboard. The secondary mass storage cage can be connected to the SCSI B connector on the I/O baseboard if that connector is unused. The hot-swap mass storage cages cannot be daisychained; that is, they cannot be connected to each other or to other mass storage devices. NOTE Do not use a terminated SCSI cable on either hot-swap mass storage cage. The SCSI A and SCSI B channels on the I/O baseboard can both be set to integrated HP NetRAID (RAID) or LVD SCSI (non-RAID) operation, but both channels must operate in the same mode, RAID or non-RAID. For more information on RAID, see Chapter 3. l To operate both mass storage cages as RAID, connect the secondary mass storage cage to the SCSI B connector on the I/O baseboard. Refer to "Cabling to I/O Baseboard SCSI B" below for instructions. l To operate both mass storage cages as non-RAID, connect the secondary mass storage cage to the SCSI B connector on the I/O baseboard. Refer to "Cabling to I/O Baseboard SCSI B" below for instructions. l To operate one mass storage cage as RAID and the other as nonRAID, only connect one cage to the I/O baseboard. Install an accessory SCSI host bus adapter or an HP NetRAID series adapter to control the mass storage cage not connected to the I/O baseboard. NOTE If a duplex board is installed in the primary or secondary mass storage cage, refer to the HP NetServer Duplex Kit Installation Guide for cabling information. 14
