About This Guide

This HP NetRAID-1M and 2M Installation and Configuration Guide will help
you install your HP NetRAID-1M or HP NetRAID-2M adapter and plan the
configuration. It guides you through power-up, launching the HP Netserver
Navigator software, making the initial configuration of the adapter, and
installing a NOS-specific configuration utility. It contains a glossary, and its
appendices contain sample cabling diagrams and worksheets to use in planning
the configuration of physical and logical drives.
!
Fill in the worksheets in Appendix C, "Worksheets," as you read this guide and
make your configuration decisions. The worksheets contain the information you
need to enter into the HP NetRAID Assistant configuration utility launched by
HP Navigator. The pencil icon in the margin is a reminder to log your
configuration choices on the worksheets.
The HP NetRAID-1M and 2M Installation and Configuration Guide is intended
to be used in conjunction with your HP Netserver documentation. Refer to your
system documentation for details such as cable product numbers and I/O slot boot
order.
If you are setting up your HP Netserver for the first time, begin with the
Installation Sheet, if one was supplied with your system. Otherwise, begin with
your Installation Guide or User Guide. Return to this guide when the
documentation instructs you to install additional accessory boards and to
configure the mass storage subsystem.
