Compaq Evo Workstation W8000 Hardware Reference Guide
If you mix Ultra ATA and SCSI hard drives in the same system, the
Ultra ATA drive will be the boot drive unless the boot order is
changed in the F10 Setup.
When replacing a hard drive, the replacement drive should be of the
same type as the drive being removed. If you are replacing an
Ultra ATA hard drive with a SCSI hard drive, you will need a
multimode LVD SCSI cable option kit.
If only one SCSI hard drive is used, it should be installed in bay 2.
Before installing a SCSI device:
Verify the SCSI ID of the drive and, if necessary, set the SCSI
ID to a unique number. See "Guidelines for Using SCSI
Devices" in this appendix or refer to the documentation included
with the device.
Determine if the device requires that termination be enabled or
disabled. Set the termination if necessary. See "Using a SCSI
Cable" in this appendix or refer to the documentation included
with the device.
Your workstation ships with an integrated dual channel SCSI
controller. Channel A has one internal SCSI connector on the system
board. Channel B has two connectors: one internal SCSI connector
on the system board and one external SCSI connector on the rear
panel of the workstation.
The removable hard drive cage and front drive bays are available for
installing or connecting mass storage SCSI devices.
