Cabling for the HP Integrity rx8620 Server Recabling for RAID Setting up RAID Cabling on the Top Left and Top Right Hot Plug Hard Drives To set up the RAID cabling on the top left and top right hot plug hard drives, do the following, from the front of the server: Step 1. Be sure 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. Step 9. Unplug the existing SCSI ribbon cable for the top right HDD (use the label behind the connectors to determine which connector goes to which drive). Step 10. Plug the new cable from the Smart Array card Port 2 into the mass storage connector for the top right drive. Step 11. Arrange the new cable so that all of the slack is located in the PCI area. Step 12. Fold the cable slack and wrap a Kwik Wrap around it to maintain the slack (this allows servicing of the other PCI cards). Step 13. Leave the un-plugged SCSI ribbon cable to rest just in front of the SCSI connector. Figure 1-5 shows what the cabling looks like when properly installed. 4 Chapter 1

Setting up RAID Cabling on the Top Left and Top Right Hot Plug Hard Drives
To set up the RAID cabling on the top left and top right hot plug hard drives, do the following, from the front
of the server:
Step 1.
Be sure 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.
Step 9.
Unplug the existing SCSI ribbon cable for the top right HDD (use the label behind the connectors to
determine which connector goes to which drive).
Step 10.
Plug the new cable from the Smart Array card Port 2 into the mass storage connector for the top
right drive.
Step 11.
Arrange the new cable so that all of the slack is located in the PCI area.
Step 12.
Fold the cable slack and wrap a Kwik Wrap around it to maintain the slack (this allows servicing of
the other PCI cards).
Step 13.
Leave the un-plugged SCSI ribbon cable to rest just in front of the SCSI connector.
Figure 1-5 shows what the cabling looks like when properly installed.
