Extending HP J3278A Server/Tower 7Plus

This accessory most conveniently provides the additional bays
for extending beyond the seven drives in the HP J3278A
Server/Tower 7Plus. This tower includes a SCSI cable to connect
the two towers and an external active HP SCSI terminator to be
installed on a rear SCSI connector. SCSI IDs are set automati-
cally on HP CD-ROM drives only (not on CD-ROM drives from
other vendors), based on their position in the tower. The topmost
position on this accessory tower is ID 0 on the second SCSI bus,
and the lowest position is ID 6 on the second SCSI bus. All 14
drives are read by the server module located in the HP J3278A
server/tower.
To add drives to the 7-bay tower, you can use the sections in this
chapter:
• "Adding an HP SureStore CD-ROM Drive" on page 2-5
• "Adding an Non-HP CD-ROM Drive" on page 2-8
Consult the User's Manual accompanying the 7-bay tower for its
specific installation instructions. Complete the SCSI cable con-
nection to the HP J3278A server/tower, the SCSI termination
connection, and the power cord connection as directed in that
manual. The "Steps to Connect the Towers" on page 2-10 include
the steps needed to start up both towers.
To install the 7-bay tower after the server/tower has been
installed, you must switch off power to the server/tower
before installing the 7-bay tower. After installing the 7-bay
tower, follow the "Steps to Connect the Towers" on page 2-10
to restart the server/tower.
