Install And Label The Disk Drives - Intergraph InterServe 800 SL System Setup

The non-RAID disk drive boxes can hold up to four disk drives and the system can
accommodate up to two of them for a total of eight drives. Depending on the configuration,
the system is RAID or non-RAID (JBOD) system. The RAID system uses a 2-channel AMI
RAID controller to provide RAID capabilities such as disk striping, mirroring, and
redundancy. The non-RAID system use a 2-channel Ultra Wide SCSI controller that does
not feature any RAID capabilities.
Each disk drive has a label affixed to the front. The left side of the disk drive label identifies
the disk drive size (in GB). The label has blank spaces for the numbers to indicate the
adapter (ADP), channel (CH), and SCSI ID (ID). Standard disk drives include values for the
adapter, channel, and SCSI ID filled in. Additional disk drives have a blank label which you
must complete after installation.
NOTE A labeling sheet is included in the system parts box.

Note the following about RAID disk drive and non-RAID disk drives.
u
For a RAID system, three disk drives (with the operating system striped across all three)
are standard. These drives, called boot drives, are labeled with specific adapter,
channel, and SCSI ID. They must be installed in specific slots in the disk section.
Installation details are provided below.
u
For a non-RAID system, one disk drive (with the operating system installed) is standard.
This drive is called the boot drive. It is labeled with specific adapter, channel, and SCSI
ID. The boot drive should be installed in the lowest slot of the disk section. Installation
details are provided below.

Install and Label the Disk Drives

The following procedures cover both RAID and non-RAID installations. To install non-
RAID drives, both side panels must be removed to gain access to the sides of the JBOD disk
drive housing. Drives are hard mounted in the JBOD housing using four screws (two on
each side) for each drive.
To install the disk drives:
1. Open the disk section door on the front of the base unit. The key is provided in the parts
box. The following figure shows the RAID disk section.
