Page 29: Installing Mass Storage Devices
4 Installing Mass Storage Devices Introduction This chapter describes how to install the internal mass storage devices, including the internal hard disk drives (IDE or SCSI) and the optional tape backup (DAT) drive. The HP Tower Server tc2100 comes standard with one flexible disk drive, one IDE CD-ROM, and at least one SCSI or IDE hard disk drive, depending on the model.
Page 30 Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices o If a backup tape drive is used, it occupies shelf 3, leaving only three mass storage devices available for shelves 4-6, and at least one is required for the boot drive. • IDE Devices o The embedded IDE controller is an Enhanced-IDE dual channel controller and provides two connectors (IDE-1 and IDE-2) for IDE devices.
Page 31: Boot Priority
Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices Boot Priority The HP Server tc2100 is provided in two models, IDE or SCSI, and the model type affects the boot priority. The HP Server searches for bootable devices in a specific order, which is set up in the BIOS Utility. IDE Model Boot Order: 1.
Page 32: Ide Mass Storage Devices
Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices NOTE The boot order can be changed using the Server's (BIOS) Setup Utility. Refer to Chapter 8, "Configuring the HP Server" for more information. IDE Mass Storage Devices This section provides the configuration of the IDE mass storage devices, if you have selected an IDE version of the HP Server tc2100.
Page 33: Scsi Mass Storage Devices
Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices SCSI Mass Storage Devices This section provides the configuration of the SCSI mass storage devices, if you have selected a SCSI version of the HP Server tc2100. The base SCSI model configuration has at least one SCSI hard drive (shelf 6) located in the removable drive cage and connected to the factory installed SCSI controller.

Page 37 Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices CAUTION All mounting screws used to thread into the hard disk drive must be #6-32 and not exceed ¼-inch in length. Longer screws may cause internal damage to the mass storage device. Damage caused by incorrect mounting screws is not covered by the HP warranty.
Page 38: Installing A Third Hard Disk Drive
Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices There are five connectors on the standard SCSI cable, with four of the connectors intended for the three hard disk drives and one optional backup tape drive. The standard SCSI cable has a terminator at the end of the cable.
Page 39 Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices e. Refer to the documentation provided with the hard drive. CAUTION All mounting screws used to thread into the hard disk drive must be #6-32 and not exceed ¼-inch in length. Longer screws may cause internal damage to the mass storage device. Damage caused by incorrect mounting screws is not covered by the HP warranty.
Page 40: Installing An Optional Backup Tape Drive
Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices 8. Connect the data cable to the hard disk drive, as described below: Refer to Figure 4-1. o If mounting a third IDE hard drive, connect the secondary (IDE-2) cable to hard drive. The secondary cable is connected to the IDE CD-ROM and should have an available connector for the third IDE hard disk drive.
Page 41 Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices The second and third drive trays are identical, but the forth drive tray is reserved for a hard drive (IDE or SCSI). The fourth drive tray provides four raised mounting posts to mount hard drives without the use of any mounting brackets.
Page 42 Chapter 4 Installing Mass Storage Devices 10. Replace the upper bezel and the left side cover. 12. Replace the external cables, power cord, and then restore power to the Server. The SCSISelect Utility automatically detects the new SCSI backup tape drive, but you should check the SCSISelect settings and make changes as necessary.
Page 43: Installing Additional Memory
NOTE Use only PC 133 (133 MHz) ECC SDRAM DIMMs acquired from Hewlett-Packard. The EDO DIMMs and PC 100 SDRAM DIMMs from earlier HP Server models will fit into the DIMM slots in the HP Server tc2100, but the EDO DIMMs and PC 100 SDRAM will not function properly.
Page 44: Installing Additional Dimms
Chapter 5 Installing Additional Memory • DIMM sizes may be mixed on the system board and may be loaded in any order (1 through 3). However, HP recommends starting at slot 1 and filling the slots in order with the largest size first: 1, 2, and 3. •...
Page 45 Chapter 5 Installing Additional Memory DIMM Slots (3) Figure 5-1. DIMM Slot Locations 5. Locate the DIMM slots and select a DIMM slot for installation. See Figure 5-2. DIMMs may be installed in any combination, in any slot, but HP recommends starting at slot 1 and filling the slots in order with the largest size first in slots, 1, 2, and 3.
Page 46 Chapter 5 Installing Additional Memory DIMM Slots Figure 5-2. DIMM Locations on System Board 6. Remove a DIMM from its container, handling the module by its edges. Use only HP PC133 (133 MHz) buffered ECC SDRAM DIMMs. CAUTION The DIMM should be left in the anti-static container or placed on an anti-static surface, until you are ready to install it into the DIMM slot.
Page 47 Chapter 5 Installing Additional Memory 7. Spread the two retaining latches on the slot outward. See Figure 5-3. 8. Align the notches on the DIMM with the keys on the slot. See Figure 5-3. Notches Keys Retaining Latches DIMM Slot Figure 5-3.
