Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring Mass Storage Devices This section provides the configuration of the IDE and SCSI mass storage devices in the hp server tc2120. IDE Model 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. The IDE server model uses the IDE-1 for the boot drive and the IDE-2 connector for the IDE CD-ROM. The BIOS Setup Utility can be used to change the boot order of the flexible disk drive and the IDE devices. Refer to "BIOS Setup Utility" later in this chapter for more information. SCSI Model Controller Configuration The base SCSI model of the hp server tc2120 has at least one SCSI hard drive (shelf 5) located in the drive cage and connected to the factory installed SCSI controller. 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 "SCSI Configuration Utility" later in this chapter for further information. The single channel Ultra-160 PCI SCSI controller board provided with the SCSI model includes three internal SCSI connectors and is normally installed in PCI slot 1. Two of the internal connectors are used for legacy products, and the third is used for your SCSI drives. 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. CAUTION You must not connect high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI devices on the SCSI bus or you will damage the other LVD SCSI devices. 19

Installing and Configuring
Mass Storage Devices
This section provides the configuration of the IDE and SCSI mass storage devices in the hp server tc2120.
IDE Model 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.
The IDE server model uses the IDE-1 for the boot drive and the IDE-2 connector for the IDE CD-ROM. The
BIOS Setup Utility can be used to change the boot order of the flexible disk drive and the IDE devices. Refer
to
“BIOS Setup Utility”
later in this chapter for more information.
SCSI Model Controller Configuration
The base SCSI model of the hp server tc2120 has at least one SCSI hard drive (shelf 5) located in the drive cage
and connected to the factory installed SCSI controller. 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
“SCSI Configuration Utility”
later in this chapter for further information.
The single channel Ultra-160 PCI SCSI controller board provided with the SCSI model includes three internal
SCSI connectors and is normally installed in PCI slot 1. Two of the internal connectors are used for legacy
products, and the third is used for your SCSI drives. 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.
CAUTION
You must not connect high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI
devices on the SCSI bus or you will damage the other LVD
SCSI devices.
