Chapter 4
Connecting SCSI Sub-systems
The second LVD SCSI connector, bus B, can be used to connect to peripheral
sub-systems such as the HP RS/12 or DLT tape libraries.
CAUTION
Do not mix high voltage differential (HVD) driver and
receiver devices with the SE, LVD (Ultra2), or multi-mode
devices on the same SCSI bus.
Integrated HP NetRAID
The HP NetServer contains an integrated HP NetRAID controller, which puts the
power of the HP NetRAID series of DACs (disk array controllers) in the
NetServer with no additional hardware.
Refer to the Integrated HP NetRAID Controller Configuration Guide for complete
information. You can also find the guide on the following HP web site:

Secondary Hot-Swap Mass Storage Cage
You can install a second hot-swap mass storage cage in the NetServer. For
information, refer to the HP NetServer LH 3000/3000r and LH 6000/6000r Mass
Storage Upgrade Guide.
Single and Dual SCSI Bus Configuration
You can configure each hot-swap mass storage cage to operate as:
l
A single SCSI bus with up to six drives
l
Two independent SCSI busses with up to three drives on each buss
(requires optional duplex board accessory kit)
The advantage of the dual bus configuration is that you can put the drives for boot
and mirror functions on one bus and the drives for data on another.
