3 Installing Mass Storage Devices

Introduction

The HP Netserver LP 1000r comes standard with an IDE CD-ROM and a flexible
disk drive. The Netserver will accept up to three Hot Swap SCSI hard disk drives
(HDD) in special mounting tray adapters. At least one Hot Swap SCSI hard disk
drive is required for booting the Netserver. An optional SCSI tape backup drive
may be connected to the external SCSI connector at the rear.

Tools Required

Check the mass storage device's documentation for tool requirements if the drive
is not mounted in the mounting tray adapter.
Phillips screwdriver (only required if it is necessary to mount SCSI drives
in the mounting tray adapter)

Mass Storage Guidelines

General Guidelines
Use care when unpacking and handling the SCSI disk drives.
The hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and can
be easily damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch. If the
drop would crack an egg, it will damage the drive.
Do not stack drives when out of the Netserver chassis.
The Netserver is internally limited to 5 mass storage bays.
The flexible disk drive and CD-ROM drive, which are standard on all
models of the HP Netserver LP 1000r, occupy bays 1 and 2
respectively. See Figure 3-1.
The three remaining bays, 3, 4, and 5 are reserved for Hot Swap SCSI
hard disk drives (HDD).
If a backup tape drive is used, it must be connected externally using the
external 68-pin SCSI connector at the rear of the Netserver.
