SCSI Mass Storage Devices

This section provides the configuration of the SCSI mass storage devices, if you

have selected a SCSI version of the HP Server tc2100. The base SCSI model

configuration has at least one SCSI hard drive (shelf 6) located in the removable

drive cage and connected to the factory installed SCSI controller.

SCSI Controller Configuration

The single channel SCSI controller board provided with the SCSI model uses the

SCSI Select Utility, to control the SCSI controller board settings. If you order the

SCSI model, you typically do not need to configure the SCSI controller, because

the utility will automatically recognize all SCSI devices connected to it.

Run the SCSI Select Utility to verify or modify the SCSI controller settings, low-

level format SCSI disks, or verify SCSI media. Refer to Chapter 8, "Configuring

the HP Server," for further information.

CAUTION

You must not connect high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI

devices on the SCSI bus or you will damage the other LVD

SCSI devices.

The single channel Ultra-160 PCI SCSI controller board provided with the SCSI

model includes two SCSI connectors and is normally installed in PCI slot P1. The

SCSI cable provided has 5 connectors, (4 for SCSI devices and 1 for the SCSI

controller board) and one terminator on the end of the cable.

•

1 internal 68-pin connector – This internal connector is used to control the

internal SCSI drives; up to a total of four SCSI devices.

•

1 external 68-pin connector – This external SCSI connector is only used for

external SCSI devices and requires no additional internal cabling or switch

settings. This connector supports up to 15 devices connected to it externally.

NOTE

Only one 68-pin connector on the SCSI controller board can be

used as the active SCSI connector. Therefore, you can’t

connect external SCSI devices to the external connector when

there are active internal SCSI devices connected to the internal

SCSI connector.

The HP Server tc2100 will support an HP NetRAID 1M controller board, separate

from the SCSI controller board.
