1 Prepare Drive for Installation Introduction This chapter describes the tools, setup information and the steps necessary to install a SCSI hard disk drive into an HP NetServer. The drives documented in this guide are listed in Table 1-1. Table 1-1. Hard Disk Drive Product Numbers HP Product Number Capacity D4910A...
Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation Step 1: Prepare for Installation Gather the tools and the setup information you need to install the drive, before removing the drive from its packaging. Tools You Need To install the disk drive, you need the following tools: Tweezers, needle-nose pliers or a similar tool for setting configuration jumpers.
Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation Unpack the Drive CAUTION Shock: Hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and can be damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch. Take care when unpacking and handling the disk drive.

Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation NOTE Some of the product numbers are duplicated, because the type of drive shipped is not always the same. Therefore, it is important that you match your drive to the correct type. The types of drives differ in that the jumpers are in different locations. Refer to the appropriate illustration (Figure 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5 or 1-6) for your type of drive, and note the location of the jumpers.

Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation Step 3: Set the SCSI Address The SCSI address is set using jumpers located on the drive. SCSI addresses range from 0 to 15. Each drive is preset to SCSI address 3. Address 7 is reserved for communications with the SCSI host bus adapter. Addresses 8 to 15 should NOT be used because the HP NetServer will time out waiting for the hard disk drive to spin up.

Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation Step 4: Connect SCSI Cable Adapter (if required) The SCSI cable adapter (see Figure 1-11) allows you to connect an Ultra/Wide SCSI drive to a narrow SCSI cable and narrow SCSI controller. If you are not connecting your drive to a narrow cable, continue with Step 5.
2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series This chapter describes the installation of a drive in the NetServer L Series. Step 1: Mount the Drive in the System Determine what type of mounting tray or bracket is correct for the system. Use the tray with the drive activity light for mounting a drive in the front of a NetServer.
Chapter 2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series Align the mounting holes on the tray or bracket with those on the drive. Attach the tray or bracket to the drive using the four screws. Step 2: Connect the Drive Activity Light The mounting tray (D2198B) has a drive activity light on the front-panel.

Chapter 2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series Step 3: Connect the Drive In this step, you install the drive in the system, and connect the SCSI data cable and the drive power cable. The SCSI cable is connected to the SCSI connector on the system board or to a SCSI host bus adapter board.
Chapter 2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series CAUTION The connector is keyed. Do not force the connector in the slot. (The red stripe on the edge of the cable denotes the position of Pin 1 on the cable.) Record information about the new hard disk setup, including: model number, capacity, and SCSI address.

Chapter 2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series Wait until all drives reach full speed. Press the Reset button on the system or press the Ctrl+Alt+Del hot-key combination to restart the HP NetServer without powering it down. Do not power-down (power-cycle) the system to restart it, as this causes all the drives to stop spinning.
3 Mount the Drive in the NetServer E 45 This chapter provides instructions for installing a hard disk drive in the HP NetServer E 45. Consider the following when installing a drive in an HP NetServer E Series system. The HP NetServer E 45 supports up to four 4 GB or four 9 GB drives.

Chapter 3 Mount the Drive in the NetServer E 45 If the drive is in a factory-provided tray, place the drive on a flat surface free from static electricity with the circuit board on the drive facing up. Remove the four screws that attach the drive to the tray and remove the drive.
Chapter 3 Mount the Drive in the NetServer E 45 Mount the Drive in Shelf 3 or 4 Remove the drive mounting tray from the system. (See Figure 3-2.) Figure 3-2. Hard Disk Drive Mounting Tray Align the four screw holes in the bottom of the NetServer E 45 tray with the four screw holes in the bottom of the drive.
Chapter 3 Mount the Drive in the NetServer E 45 NOTE HP SCSI-3 drives must connect to the actively terminated cable. Using an incorrect cable (or not using an active termination module) will cause data transmission errors. Do not use passively terminated cables with Ultra SCSI-3 hard disk drives.

Chapter 3 Mount the Drive in the NetServer E 45 CAUTION No low level format is needed. HP performs the low-level format at the factory. Initialize the file system, using the operating system format utility. NOTE If you are experiencing problems with the drive, watch the messages on your monitor while the system boots.
A Jumper Settings Each of the drives has an Ultra SCSI-3, single-ended, wide 8 or 16-bit interface data connection. The hard disk drives are shipped without SCSI terminators. These drives are ready to use on a SCSI cable with a built-in active terminator. The terminator power options are: 1.

Appendix A Jumper Settings Description Delay Spin-Up Motor start up is delayed by the sum of the SCSI ID times 6 seconds after power is applied; i.e., Drive 0 spindle starts immediately, drive 1 starts after a 6 second delay, drive 2 starts after a 12 second delay, and so forth.
B Disk Drive Characteristics The proper settings for the following items depend on the operating system (NetWare, DOS, OS/2, Windows NT, UNIX or Banyan Vines) and corresponding version number: Extended Translation setting for the controller Partitions, logical drives or divisions for the hot swap hard disk drive For non-UNIX systems, partition and logical hot swap hard disk drive sizes also depend on: Partition type (Bootable or Non-bootable)
