Cabling for the HP Integrity rx8620 Server Recabling for RAID Dual Partition Configurations Figure 1-6 shows the correct cabling for a dual partition configuration, as viewed from the front of the server. Figure 1-6 Smart Array 5302 or 5304 Controller Card with Dual Partition Cabling Setting up RAID Cabling on the Top Right and Top Left Hot Plug Hard Drives To set up the RAID cabling on the top right and top left hot plug hard drives, do the following, from the front of the server: Step 1. Confirm the HP Smart Array 5302 or 5304 controller card is installed in PCI slot 8 of the Primary I/O Chassis (I/O Chassis 0). Refer to the HP Smart Array 5300 User Guide. Step 2. Retrieve two cables from the cable kit (A7027-63001). Step 3. Identify the new cables using the colored cable ties which are also contained in the cable kit (for each cable, use two of the same color, one on each end). Step 4. Plug the end of one of the cables with the pull-tab into the SCSI connector Port 1 on the Smart Array card (Port 1 is near the bracket). Repeat for SCSI connector Port 2 (Port 2 is near the center of the board). Step 5. Route the other end of the cables out through the left hand side of the server. Step 6. Route the cables towards the front of the server and over to the mass storage connectors. Step 7. Unplug the existing SCSI ribbon cable for the top left HDD (use the label behind the connectors to determine which connector goes to which drive). Step 8. Plug the new cable from the Smart Array card Port 1 into the mass storage connector for the top left drive. 6 Chapter 1
