Chapter 4
NOTE You can change the default boot order during system startup.
See "Boot Menu" in Chapter 9.

Setting the Device's SCSI Device ID

When installing internal hard drives in the HP NetServer:
Set the boot drive's SCSI device ID to 0
Set the SCSI device ID of the second drive (if any) to 1
Set the SCSI device ID of the third drive (if any) to 2
Drive 0 is the boot drive, unless you boot from the floppy diskette drive or
CD-ROM.

Installing an Internal Hard Disk Drive

The HP NetServer has three empty drive bays in its front panel, to the right of the
CD-ROM drive. If you want to install drives in all three bays, you follow a
slightly different procedure than for installing just the first or second drive. The
sections below describe both procedures.
WARNING
One data cable with multiple connectors serves all the
internal hard drives. Make sure that this cable is not caught
or pinched between two drives.

Installing the First or Second Drive in the Server

The procedure below shows how to install one or two hard disk drives in the HP
NetServer, if you plan to leave the third bay empty.
To install a drive:
1. Turn the system off and remove the front bezel. See Chapters 2 and 3 for
details.
2. Configure the drive. Be sure to:
Set the SCSI device ID to 0, 1, or 2. (See the previous sections for
details.)
