Installing the Disk System

Hardware Requirements

The following hardware is included with the disk system:
One power cord comes with each disk system.
Your host computer must have one of the following:
The following accessory is available for your storage disk system:
The DS2120 supports a maximum SCSI speed of U160. Connectivity to U320
initiators is supported if the speed of the U320 initiator is set to limit negotiations to
U160 speed. U320 drives do not operate reliably or at acceptable performance levels
at U320 speeds and are not supported at those speeds. This is due to limitations within
the disk system and not the U320 disk mechanisms. Contact your HP support
representative for assistance with the configuration.

Preparing for Installation

Before the disk system is ready for installation, its SCSI IDs must be set and the host
system must be prepared to recognize the newly installed disk system. See your
operating system administration manual for configuration procedures for the host bus
adapter.
