SCSI IDs, identification ID so that the controller can identify

Page 223 highlights

Notes 1. Any information about SCSI drives also applies to other SCSI devices, such as tape drives. 2. If you plan to install both internal and external SCSI devices, you must follow the instructions in "External options" on page 188, in addition to these instructions. A 16-bit (wide) SCSI cable connects the hot-swap backplane to one channel of the integrated RAID SCSI controller on the system board. The other channel of the integrated RAID SCSI controller is connected to the SCSI connector on the back of the server. A 16-bit SCSI cable with connectors for optional devices in bays A and B is folded and restrained with a cable clamp to the bottom of the server between the open bays and the power supply area. This cable has a terminator on one end. If you want to install a device in bay A or B, you can either: Install an additional SCSI adapter Disconnect the cable from the RAID channel 1 connector on the system board (see "System board component locations" on page 279). (This cable goes to the external SCSI connector on the back of the server, so you will not be able to attach external SCSI devices using the external SCSI connector.) Use the 16-bit SCSI cable to connect the device in bay A or B to the RAID channel 1 connector on the system board. SCSI IDs: Each SCSI device that is connected to an individual channel of the RAID controller needs a unique identification (ID) so that the controller can identify the devices and ensure that different devices do not attempt to transfer data at the same time. (The two channels of the integrated RAID controller operate independently.) If you need to set IDs for SCSI devices, refer to the instructions that come with those devices. The server automatically sets SCSI IDs for hot-swap hard disk drives, according to the jumper settings on the SCSI backplanes. The server uses the hard disk drive SCSI IDs to send status information to the indicator lights above each hot-swap bay. The SCSI backplane in the server supports up to six hot-swap bays. Table 11 on page 216 shows the default SCSI IDs that the backplane assigns for hot-swap hard disk drives. Netfinity 5500 M20 - Type 8662 215

Notes
1.
Any information about SCSI drives also applies to
other SCSI devices, such as tape drives.
2.
If you plan to install both internal and external
SCSI devices, you must follow the instructions in
“External options” on page
188, in addition to
these instructions.
A 16-bit (wide) SCSI cable connects the hot-swap
backplane to one channel of the integrated RAID SCSI
controller on the system board.
The other channel of the
integrated RAID SCSI controller is connected to the SCSI
connector on the back of the server.
A 16-bit SCSI cable with connectors for optional devices in
bays A and B is folded and restrained with a cable clamp
to the bottom of the server between the open bays and the
power supply area.
This cable has a terminator on one
end.
If you want to install a device in bay A or B, you can
either:
±
Install an additional SCSI adapter
±
Disconnect the cable from the RAID channel 1
connector on the system board (see “System board
component locations” on page
279).
(This cable
goes to the external SCSI connector on the back of
the server, so you will not be able to attach external
SCSI devices using the external SCSI connector.)
Use the 16-bit SCSI cable to connect the device in
bay A or B to the RAID channel 1 connector on the
system board.
SCSI IDs:
Each SCSI device that is connected to an
individual channel of the RAID controller needs a unique
identification (ID) so that the controller can identify the
devices and ensure that different devices do not attempt to
transfer data at the same time.
(The two channels of the
integrated RAID controller operate independently.)
If you
need to set IDs for SCSI devices, refer to the instructions
that come with those devices.
The server automatically sets SCSI IDs for hot-swap hard
disk drives, according to the jumper settings on the SCSI
backplanes.
The server uses the hard disk drive SCSI IDs
to send status information to the indicator lights above
each hot-swap bay.
The SCSI backplane in the server supports up to six
hot-swap bays.
Table
11 on page
216 shows the default
SCSI IDs that the backplane assigns for hot-swap hard
disk drives.
