SCSI Guidelines
The SCSI controllers require a 68-pin twisted pair LVD cable with built-in terminator, for
connection to a maximum of 4 internal SCSI LVD disk drives.
Every SCSI bus or circuit must be terminated (closed) at both ends. The Internal SCSI bus in
these systems is terminated on one end at the system board. The other end of the internal
SCSI bus is terminated at the end of the SCSI cable. If the optional external SCSI port is
used, this bus is terminated on one end at the system board. The other end of the External
SCSI bus will need to be terminated at the last external SCSI device connected by the user
with an approved LVD or Multimode SCSI terminator.
Turn on all external SCSI devices before turning on the power to the workstation. This
enables the SCSI controller to recognize the external devices.
For additional information about installing optional SCSI devices, refer to the documentation
included with the device option kit.
Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology
(SMART)
The Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) IDE and SCSI hard drives
for HP workstations have built-in drive failure prediction that warns the user or the network
administrator of an impending failure or crash of the hard drive. SMART drives track fault
prediction and failure indication parameters such as re-allocated sector count, spin retry count,
and calibration retry count. If the drive determines that a failure is imminent, it generates a fault
alert.
