Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring o Ensure that the SCSI devices you install do not have terminations installed. The SCSI drives are connected to a terminated cable and do not require termination on the SCSI drive. o Use only HP Ultra 160 SCSI LVD (1-inch) low profile 3.5-inch hard disk drives for the hard disk drive cage. o The optional HP backup tape drive comes with a 50-to-68-pin adapter to connect to the 68-pin SCSI connector on the SCSI cable used for connection of backup tape drive. The optional HP backup tape drive may slow down access time for the Ultra-160 SCSI hard drives. If this is the case, HP recommends adding another single channel SCSI controller to control the slower backup tape drive. Boot Priority The HP Server tc2110 is provided in two models, IDE or SCSI, and the model type affects the boot priority. The HP Server searches for bootable devices in a specific order, which is set up in the BIOS Utility. IDE Model Boot Order: 1. Flexible disk drive 2. IDE CD-ROM drive 3. IDE hard drive (boot drive) 4. PCI slot P1 (32-bit slot) 5. PCI slot P2 (32-bit slot) 6. PCI slot P3 (32-bit slot) SCSI Model Boot Order: 1. Flexible disk drive 2. IDE CD-ROM drive 3. IDE hard drive (if boot drive) 4. SCSI devices 5. PCI slot P1 (32-bit slot) 6. PCI slot P2 (32-bit slot) 7. PCI slot P3 (32-bit slot) The SCSI Controller in the Server scans for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and works up through the ID numbers (0-15). The SCSI controller board is always SCSI ID 7. The optional backup tape drive will use SCSI address ID 3. NOTE The boot order can be changed by pressing F8 during the POST or by using the Server's (BIOS) Setup Utility. Refer to "BIOS Setup Utility" later in this chapter for more information. You may also activate the Network Boot by pressing F12 during the POST. IDE Mass Storage Devices This section provides the configuration of the IDE mass storage devices, if you have selected an IDE version of the HP Server tc2110. IDE Controller Configuration The embedded IDE controller is available for both models (IDE or SCSI) of the HP Server. The embedded IDE controller is an Ultra ATA 33/66/100 dual channel controller, which provides IDE-1 and IDE-2 connectors. Each channel can only control two IDE devices. 21

Installing and Configuring
o
Ensure that the SCSI devices you install do not have terminations installed.
The SCSI drives are connected to a terminated cable and do not require termination on the SCSI
drive.
o
Use only HP Ultra 160 SCSI LVD (1-inch) low profile 3.5-inch hard disk drives for the hard disk
drive cage.
o
The optional HP backup tape drive comes with a 50-to-68-pin adapter to connect to the 68-pin SCSI
connector on the SCSI cable used for connection of backup tape drive.
The optional HP backup tape drive may slow down access time for the Ultra-160 SCSI hard drives.
If this is the case, HP recommends adding another single channel SCSI controller to control the
slower backup tape drive.
Boot Priority
The HP Server tc2110 is provided in two models, IDE or SCSI, and the model type affects the boot priority.
The HP Server searches for bootable devices in a specific order, which is set up in the BIOS Utility.
IDE Model Boot Order:
1.
Flexible disk drive
2.
IDE CD-ROM drive
3.
IDE hard drive (boot drive)
4.
PCI slot P1 (32-bit slot)
5.
PCI slot P2 (32-bit slot)
6.
PCI slot P3 (32-bit slot)
SCSI Model Boot Order:
1.
Flexible disk drive
2.
IDE CD-ROM drive
3.
IDE hard drive (if boot drive)
4.
SCSI devices
5.
PCI slot P1 (32-bit slot)
6.
PCI slot P2 (32-bit slot)
7.
PCI slot P3 (32-bit slot)
The SCSI Controller in the Server scans for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and works up through the ID
numbers (0-15). The SCSI controller board is always SCSI ID 7. The optional backup tape drive will use
SCSI address ID 3.
NOTE
The boot order can be changed by pressing F8 during the POST or by using the Server’s
(BIOS) Setup Utility. Refer to “BIOS Setup Utility” later in this chapter for more
information. You may also activate the Network Boot by pressing F12 during the POST.
IDE Mass Storage Devices
This section provides the configuration of the IDE mass storage devices, if you have selected an IDE version
of the HP Server tc2110.
IDE Controller Configuration
The embedded IDE controller is available for both models (IDE or SCSI) of the HP Server. The embedded
IDE controller is an Ultra ATA 33/66/100 dual channel controller, which provides IDE-1 and IDE-2
connectors. Each channel can only control two IDE devices.
