Attach Data Cables to the Server

1. Locate SCSI connections, label both ends of the SCSI cables, and connect
one end of each one to the server. See Figure 2-7. Tighten captive screws
on SCSI connectors to retain the cable connector in the server connector.
2. Locate any network and remote management connections from routers
and other sources and connect their cables to corresponding server
connectors.
3. Locate the cable that will attach the serial port on the Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS) (if present) and plug the server end in.
4. Attach the video cable to the video port on the server. Attach the mouse
and keyboard cables to the server. If you are using one keyboard, mouse,
and monitor for more than one server, attach the cables for the HP
Console Switch to the server ports of the video card and the mouse and
monitor ports.
SCSI Cable Lengths and Distances between the Server and Storage
The embedded SCSI controller can connect to external SCSI devices over cable
lengths up to 2.5 meters. Other SCSI controllers on PCI cards which you may
install in the LPr may support longer cable lengths. Guidelines used by rack
configuration tools in generating rack layouts take this distance limitation into
account.
