Hard Disk Drives Do Not Work

If error messages displayed on the monitor indicate a hard disk failure, perform
these checks:
1. Verify the power cable is securely connected to the drive, the flat SCSI
cable is securely connected to the drive or to the SCSI connector on the
card cage backplane.
For a narrow (50-pin) SCSI device, use the wide-to-narrow SCSI adapter
with the white body on the terminated SCSI cable.
2. Verify all SCSI devices have unique SCSI IDs.
Refer to the Technical Reference Label on the inside the top cover or
Information Assistant for more details on setting SCSI IDs.
3. If you intend to boot from the hard disk drive, ensure Start from Hard
Disk is enabled in the "Hardware Security" submenu located under the
"Security" menu in the Setup Utility.
4. Verify the SCSI ID of the hard disk drive is in the correct boot order.
Refer to the HP NetServer Hard Disk Drive Troubleshooting Guide on the

The old password will be erased.
