HP Vectra XU 5/XX Introduction Manual page 11

For example, the following figure shows the default jumper setting for a 1 GB SCSI hard disk
drive.
Similarly, the CD-ROM drive D2992A is delivered preconfigured with SCSI address 2. Make
sure that other SCSI devices do not have the same address number.
Refer to the manual provided with the SCSI device for information on selecting another
SCSI address number.
When using two or more SCSI devices simultaneously, you can rearrange their addresses to
improve their performance. A higher address gives a device a higher priority, but a slow
device at a high address can slow all other SCSI devices.
When installing additional SCSI devices, pay attention to their speed and address relative to
other devices on the bus. The optional CD-ROM is slower than a hard disk, but can
automatically disconnect when a faster SCSI device needs to use the bus.
Software Installation
SCSI devices are not auto-detected during the Power-On-Self-Test and MUST be
configured in DOS. You MUST exit Windows and enter MS-DOS, do not use the MS-DOS
prompt in Windows.
When in MS-DOS, carry out the following:
1. Change to the
C:\AMDSCSI
2. Type , then press [
AMINSTALL
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.
(On models without a hard disk and non-DOS models, SCSI drivers and utilities are supplied
on diskette.)
SCSI drivers for non-DOS operating systems and NetWare are included in the preloaded
software. Theses drivers can be obtained by using the Master Diskette Creation Utility in
the HPUtils Group in Windows. (Refer to chapter 1 in the Getting Started manual for
details.)
Check with your dealer for information on how to obtain SCO SCSI drivers.
