Step 4: Configure The Drive - HP D7171A - NetServer - LPr Installation Manual

Chapter 3
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.
CAUTION The active termination module belongs on the last connector
on the cable. Do not remove this terminator.
Connect the internal power supply cable to the hard disk drive with one of
the unused cables from the power supply unit.
Select an available connector on the SCSI cable and connect it to the disk
drive.
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.
Reassemble the HP NetServer.
Connect all the cables and power cords.
Turn on power to the HP NetServer.
