3.5-Inch Hard Disk Drive - NEC Express 5800 User Manual

3.5-INCH HARD DISK DRIVE

The 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay in front of the server contains six slots in which hard disks with the
SCA2 interface are installed.
The figures used in this section show the rack-mount model. The orientation is the only difference
from the tower model.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use any hard disks that are not authorized by NEC. Installing a third-party hard disk may
cause a failure of the server as well as the hard disk. Purchase hard disks of the same model in
pair. Contact your sales agent for hard disk drives optimum for your server.
The OS starts from the hard disk that is mounted in Slot 1 of the primary module (whose
POWER LED is on).
A SCSI controller error having sraql160 as its source may sometimes be recorded in the system
event log. This error is likely to be issued when the hard disk drive processing cannot keep up in
time with requests of the OS, but the processing is carried on normally thanks to the retry
function. So, this does not affect the operation at all. In case such an error is issued, check the
detailed data indicated below, and if it is "f0030004" or "f0030015," just ignore that log.
If, however, a SCSI controller error whose detailed data is "f0030004" or "f0030015" is recorded
repeatedly (ten times or more in a week time as a rough guide), a hard disk drive failure is
suspected. Contact the maintenance personnel in such a case.
TIPS:
POWER LED is on to indicate that it is the primary module.
The module that you plug in first will be the primary module (see Chapter 3).
System Upgrade
Description:
The driver detected a controller
error on \Device\Scsi\sraql160x
[x is a numeral as 1 or 2 for
example.]
In the case where the detailed
data of the above event
properties is represented in
words, the error represents no
trouble if the value from 0034: is
"f0030004" or "f0030015".
