Chapter 3
CAUTION To prevent damage to the Hot Swap SCSI hard disk drives,
do not use a HVD (high voltage differential) DAC controller.
If you are mirroring hard drives using the HP NetRAID Controller board, refer to
"Duplexing SCSI Hard Disk Drives" later in this chapter for instructions on how to
install the SCSI cable to the SCSI backplane connector. Refer to the
documentation provided by the HP NetRAID PCI Controller board for external
cabling requirements.

Installing Hot Swap Hard Drives

Use this section to install Hot Swap hard drives in the Hot Swap drive slots.
CAUTION Protect the drive from static electricity:
•
•
•
•
1. Remove the filler panel from the drive slot. See Figure 3-2.
Press the tab latches on the sides of the filler panel, and pull straight out to
remove it from the slot. Save the filler panel for future use.
CAUTION
Leave the drive it in the anti-static bag until you are ready
to install it.
Before handling the drive, touch an unpainted metal
surface to discharge static electricity.
Handle the drive only by its frame. Place the drive on the
anti-static bag whenever you set it down.
Do not touch the electrical components.
Operating the HP Netserver without filler panels in
empty SCSI drive slots may cause the HP Netserver to
suffer thermal damage and/or excessive EMI.
