1-11 Supported Drive Configurations Standard server configurations can include as many as six Smart Array 3200 Controllers or SMART-2DH Controllers depending on the installed network operating system. The Smart Array 3200 Controllers or SMART-2DH Controllers can support two Compaq ProLiant Storage Systems, or one Compaq ProLiant Storage System and up to seven internal, hot-pluggable hard drives. A maximum practical SCSI configuration, optimizing performance and storage, could include the following: s One network interface controller (NIC) s Six Smart Array 3200 Controllers or SMART-2DH Controllers s Twelve Compaq ProLiant Storage Systems s Ninety 18.2 GB drives This configuration would yield a total storage capacity of 1.6 terabytes (1,638 gigabytes). Interlock System The Compaq ProLiant 5500 server interlock system prevents power distribution throughout the system if the memory board, processors, or peripheral board (including the power switch cable) are not fully installed or properly seated. WARNING: Tooled access is required. Repair should be performed only by trained service providers who are qualified in servicing computer equipment and in dealing with products capable of producing hazardous energy levels. WARNING: Care must be exercised when the hood or side covers are removed because the system does not shut down automatically.

Compaq ProLiant 5500 Servers Setup and Installation Guide
For use with Intel Pentium II Xeon processor-based servers only
Supported Drive Configurations
Standard server configurations can include as many as six Smart Array 3200
Controllers or SMART-2DH Controllers depending on the installed network
operating system.
The Smart Array 3200 Controllers or SMART-2DH
Controllers can support two Compaq ProLiant Storage Systems, or one Compaq
ProLiant Storage System and up to seven internal, hot-pluggable hard drives.
A maximum practical SCSI configuration, optimizing performance and storage,
could include the following:
One network interface controller (NIC)
Six Smart Array 3200 Controllers or SMART-2DH Controllers
Twelve Compaq ProLiant Storage Systems
Ninety 18.2 GB drives
This configuration would yield a total storage capacity of 1.6 terabytes (1,638
gigabytes).
Interlock System
The Compaq ProLiant 5500 server interlock system prevents power distribution
throughout the system if the memory board, processors, or peripheral board
(including the power switch cable) are not fully installed or properly seated.
WARNING:
Tooled access is required. Repair should be
performed only by trained service providers who are qualified in
servicing computer equipment and in dealing with products
capable of producing hazardous energy levels.
WARNING:
Care must be exercised when the hood or side
covers are removed because the system does not shut down
automatically.
