Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring The bundled IDE CD-ROM and hard disk drive were put on separate IDE connectors to improve performance. • SCSI Devices o Use only low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI devices. o Do not use high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices in the server or damage to the controller and other devices may occur. 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 tc2120 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 Setup Utility. The SCSI Controller in the server scans for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and works up through the ID numbers (015). 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. Default Boot Order: 1. CD-ROM drive 2. Flexible disk drive 3. IDE hard drive (if present) 4. SCSI hard drive in any PCI slot (if present) 5. Other bootable devices in any PCI slot 18

Installing and Configuring
The bundled IDE CD-ROM and hard disk drive were put on separate IDE connectors to improve
performance.
•
SCSI Devices
o
Use only low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI devices.
o
Do not use high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices in the server or damage to the controller and
other devices may occur.
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 tc2120 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 Setup Utility. 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.
Default Boot Order:
1.
CD-ROM drive
2.
Flexible disk drive
3.
IDE hard drive (if present)
4.
SCSI hard drive in any PCI slot (if present)
5.
Other bootable devices in any PCI slot
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.
