PCI slot 2
PCI slot 1
PCI slot 6
PCI slot 3
PCI slot 4
PCI slot 5
Installing a Disk Array Controller Board and Altering the Boot
Priority
Adding a disk array controller board provides additional fault tolerance to your
internal or external mass storage devices. If you plan on adding a disk array
controller board to the HP NetServer E 60, HP recommends the HP NetRAID 3Si
PCI board be installed in slot 5. When installing a disk array controller board,
you may alter the server's boot order to allow the system to boot off one of the
array's drives. This boot order can be changed under the Configuration menu of
the server's BIOS Setup utility (under Boot Device Ordering | Hard Drive Priority
| Bootable Cards).

Installing Accessory Boards

To install an accessory board:
1. If the system is already installed and working, gracefully power down the
system as described in Chapter 2.
2. Disconnect the power cables and any external cables connected to the
system. If necessary, label them to expedite reassembly.
3. Remove the cover and turn in the system feet (so that the system will lay
flat on its side) as described in Chapter 3.
WARNING The power supply will continue to provide standby current to
the NetServer E 60 until the power cable is disconnected.
CAUTION
Wear a wrist strap and use a static-dissipating work surface
connected to the chassis when handling components. Ensure
that the metal of the wrist strap contacts your skin.
