Q. I ordered my server with a pre-installed SMART-2DH Controller. Will
the server ship with the SCSI cable that I will need to connect to my
Compaq ProLiant Storage System?
A. No, you will not receive the external SCSI cable with your server. However,
the required cable is supplied with Compaq ProLiant Storage systems.
Q. I do not have any hard drives in my server, but I am connecting it to a
Compaq ProLiant Storage System which has several hard drives. Which
SCSI port do I use?
A. If you have no hard drives installed in your server, you can connect the
Compaq ProLiant Storage System to either port.
CAUTION:
configure your SMART-2DH Controller. Interchanging the
connectors could result in a loss of your data.
If you have hard drives installed in your server and connected to the
SMART-2DH Controller, only one port (2) will be available externally.
Q. I want to connect two Compaq ProLiant Storage Systems to my server.
Can I also connect the internal hard drives in my server to the SMART-2
DH Controller?
A. No; if you connect two ProLiant Storage Systems to your server you cannot
connect any internal hard drives in your server to your SMART-2DH
Controller because both SCSI ports will be used externally. You can add an
additional SMART-2DH Controller to your server to control any internal
drives.
Q. What must I do with System ROMPaq?
