SCSI Mass Storage Devices

This section provides the configuration of the SCSI mass storage devices, if you
have selected a SCSI version of the HP Server tc2100. The base SCSI model
configuration has at least one SCSI hard drive (shelf 6) located in the removable
drive cage and connected to the factory installed SCSI controller.

SCSI Controller Configuration

The single channel SCSI controller board provided with the SCSI model uses the
SCSI Select Utility, to control the SCSI controller board settings. If you order the
SCSI model, you typically do not need to configure the SCSI controller, because
the utility will automatically recognize all SCSI devices connected to it.
Run the SCSI Select Utility to verify or modify the SCSI controller settings, low-
level format SCSI disks, or verify SCSI media. Refer to Chapter 8, "Configuring
the HP Server," for further information.
CAUTION You must not connect high voltage differential (HVD) SCSI
devices on the SCSI bus or you will damage the other LVD
SCSI devices.
The single channel Ultra-160 PCI SCSI controller board provided with the SCSI
model includes two SCSI connectors and is normally installed in PCI slot P1. The
SCSI cable provided has 5 connectors, (4 for SCSI devices and 1 for the SCSI
controller board) and one terminator on the end of the cable.
• 1 internal 68-pin connector – This internal connector is used to control the
internal SCSI drives; up to a total of four SCSI devices.
• 1 external 68-pin connector – This external SCSI connector is only used for
external SCSI devices and requires no additional internal cabling or switch
settings. This connector supports up to 15 devices connected to it externally.
NOTE Only one 68-pin connector on the SCSI controller board can be
used as the active SCSI connector. Therefore, you can't
connect external SCSI devices to the external connector when
there are active internal SCSI devices connected to the internal
SCSI connector.
The HP Server tc2100 will support an HP NetRAID 1M controller board, separate
from the SCSI controller board.
