Step 3: Connect The Drive - HP D7171A - NetServer - LPr Installation Manual

Chapter 2

Step 3: Connect the Drive

In this step, you install the drive in the system, and connect the SCSI data cable
and the drive power cable. The SCSI cable is connected to the SCSI connector on
the system board or to a SCSI host bus adapter board.
The correct cable for HP Ultra SCSI-3 drives has an active termination module on
one end of the cable. The active termination module is easy to recognize, because
it looks different from the other connectors on the cable, and the word "active"
should appear on the active termination module.
NOTE HP SCSI-3 drives must connect to the actively terminated
cable. Using an incorrect cable (or not using an active
termination module) will cause data transmission errors.
Do not use passively terminated cables with Ultra SCSI-3 hard
disk drives.
CAUTION The active termination module belongs on the last connector
on the cable, opposite the system board or host bus SCSI
adapter. Do not remove this module.
Turn off your system and the display.
Disconnect the power cords.
Detach any external cables.
Remove the cover from the HP NetServer.
Remove any hardware necessary to reach the cables or insert the drive.
Consult Information Assistant on the HP NetServer Navigator
CD-ROM for your system for instructions.
Insert the mounted hard drive in your HP NetServer.
Connect the internal power supply cable to the hard disk drive with one of
the unused cables from the power supply unit.
Select an available connector on the SCSI cable and connect it to the disk
drive.
Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series
