Installing and Configuring
The system chassis ships with a Hot Swap Mass Storage cage supporting up to eight low-profile Hot Swap hard
drives.

Boot Priority
This section details the HP Server tc4100’s boot order by highest to lowest priority. The on-board SCSI
controller has two channels, A and B. Channel B is typically used to control the Hot Swap SCSI drives. Channel
A is typically used to control the internal non-hot swap SCSI drives. On each SCSI channel, the Server scans
for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and proceeds up from there.
The HP Server tc4100’s boot order (BIOS search order for a boot device) should be considered, when
connecting cables from the on board SCSI channels.
By default the Server searches for boot devices in this order:
1.
IDE CD-ROM drive
2.
Flexible disk drive
3.
SCSI A bus (typically non-Hot Swap internal SCSI devices)
4.
SCSI B bus
(typically Hot Swap Mass Storage Cage)
5.

You can change this boot order using the Setup Utility (BIOS) by pressing F2 during the boot process, and the
SCSI Configuration Utility by pressing Ctrl-C during the boot process.
