Step E. Install Cables and Set SCSI ID Switches

In this step you connect the adapter's SCSI channels to the physical drives listed
in Worksheet A and set their SCSI ID switches.

Connect Cables and Set SCSI ID Switches

Install the cables to create the hardware setup you planned in Worksheet A. See
Appendix D for sample cabling diagrams and default switch settings. Also refer
to the system documentation and the Hot Swap Disk Subsystem Cabling
Information label on the chassis for factory default cable configurations and SCSI
ID switch settings. In general, use the SCSI IDs preset on the hot swap
subsystems.
NOTE For additional information, refer to:
Install and remove SCSI cables as follows:
SCSI cable connectors must be plugged in or removed evenly, not one end
first, to avoid bending the pins. Use the white pull-tab, if present, when
removing a connector.
For backplane connectors with locking ears, open the locking ears before
inserting the SCSI cable.
If you have the HP NetRAID adapter, you may need to use the Strain-Relief Kit
that comes with the adapter:
Strain-relief clips (also called "connector locks") on the SCSI cables are
too wide to use on Channel 0 on the HP NetRAID adapter. Follow the
instructions in the Strain-Relief Kit to replace the strain-relief clip on the
cable with a connector lock in the Strain-Relief Kit.
Strain-relief clips on the SCSI cables also will not fit on two adjacent HP
NetRAID adapter internal connectors. Replace the strain-relief clip from
one of the cables (Channel 1 or 2) with the connector in the Strain-Relief
Kit before connecting it.
