Cabling for the HP Integrity rx2620 and rx2600 Servers Recabling for RAID Step 11. Disconnect and remove any unused SCSI cables from the system board, as shown in Figure 5-15. Figure 5-15 Disconnecting and Removing Unused SCSI Cables from System Board Step 12. Do one of the following, depending on whether you are configuring for single or dual channel support: a. Single Channel Support: For 5300 series cards, plug the end of the A7231-63024 single channel cable labeled "PORT 1" into PORT 1 of the HP Smart Array controller card. For 6400 series cards, plug the end of the A7231-63024 single channel cable labeled "PORT 1" into PORT A2 of the HP Smart Array controller card (see Figure 5-16). The cable connectors are marked for clarity. The excess cable goes between PCI slots 3 and 4 and part of the cable must be folded down (90 degrees). Be sure it lies flush against the HP Smart Array controller card to prevent it from obstructing access to the other PCI slots. The other part of the cable that is labeled Channel A (bottom) should exit the PCI cage flush against where the PCI board cover and cable channel fit on the PCI cage (see Figure 5-18). NOTE Do not reinstall the PCI cage or plug the other end of the cable into the hard drive backplane yet. You do this later. b. Dual Channel Support: For 5300 series cards, plug the ends of the A7231-63025 dual channel cable labeled "PORT 1" and "PORT 2" into PORT 1 and PORT 2, respectively, of the HP Smart Array controller card. For 6400 series cards, plug the ends of the A7231-63024 dual channel cable labeled "PORT 1" and "PORT 2" into PORT A2 and PORT A1, respectively, of the HP Smart Array controller card (see Figure 5-17). The cable connectors are marked for clarity. The excess cable goes between PCI slots 3 and 4 and part of the cable must be folded down (90 degrees). Be sure it lies flush against the controller card to prevent it from obstructing access to the other PCI slots. The other part of the cables which are labeled Channel A (bottom) and Channel B (top) should exit the PCI cage flush against where the PCI board cover and cable channel fit on the PCI cage (see Figure 5-18). NOTE Do not reinstall the PCI cage or plug the other end of the cable into the hard drive backplane yet. You do this later. Chapter 5 47

Step 11.
Disconnect and remove any unused SCSI cables from the system board, as shown in Figure 5-15.

Board
Step 12.
Do
one
of the following, depending on whether you are configuring for single or dual channel
support:
a.
Single Channel Support:
For 5300 series cards, plug the end of the A7231-63024 single
channel cable labeled “PORT 1” into PORT 1 of the HP Smart Array controller card. For 6400
series cards, plug the end of the A7231-63024 single channel cable labeled “PORT 1” into PORT
A2 of the HP Smart Array controller card (see Figure 5-16). The cable connectors are marked for
clarity. The excess cable goes between PCI slots 3 and 4 and part of the cable must be folded
down (90 degrees). Be sure it lies flush against the HP Smart Array controller card to prevent it
from obstructing access to the other PCI slots. The other part of the cable that is labeled
Channel A (bottom) should exit the PCI cage flush against where the PCI board cover and cable
channel fit on the PCI cage (see Figure 5-18).
NOTE
Do not reinstall the PCI cage or plug the other end of the cable into the hard drive
backplane yet. You do this later.
b.
Dual Channel Support:
For 5300 series cards, plug the ends of the A7231-63025 dual channel
cable labeled “PORT 1” and “PORT 2” into PORT 1 and PORT 2, respectively, of the HP Smart
Array controller card. For 6400 series cards, plug the ends of the A7231-63024 dual channel
cable labeled “PORT 1” and “PORT 2” into PORT A2 and PORT A1, respectively, of the HP
Smart Array controller card (see Figure 5-17). The cable connectors are marked for clarity. The
excess cable goes between PCI slots 3 and 4 and part of the cable must be folded down (90
degrees). Be sure it lies flush against the controller card to prevent it from obstructing access to
the other PCI slots. The other part of the cables which are labeled Channel A (bottom) and
Channel B (top) should exit the PCI cage flush against where the PCI board cover and cable
channel fit on the PCI cage (see Figure 5-18).
NOTE
Do not reinstall the PCI cage or plug the other end of the cable into the hard drive
backplane yet. You do this later.
