  • Page 9 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.

  • Page 12: Step 3: Set The Scsi Address

    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.

    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.
  • Page 20: Step 2: Connect The Drive Activity Light

    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.

  • Page 23: Step 3: Connect The Drive

    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.
  • Page 24: Step 4: Configure The Drive

    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.
  • Page 25 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.

  • Page 31: Step 4: Configure 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.
  • Page 32 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.
  • Page 33: A Jumper Settings

    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.
  • Page 34 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.
