Mass Storage Devices

Introduction

This section describes how to install the internal mass storage devices, including the internal SCSI Hot Swap
hard disk drives and Non-Hot Swap SCSI disk drives. The requirements for external SCSI drives are provided
in the respective topic later in this section.
NOTE
The embedded dual channel SCSI controller operates as a LVD (Low-Voltage
Differential) controller, but if a SE(single-ended) device is connected to the controller, it
automatically switches to SE and all SCSI devices connected to the controller must
operate as SE devices. If your system was not configured with a backup tape drive, you
must use a terminated non-hot swap cable for the tape drive.

Installing Storage Devices After Shipment

If you are installing mass storage devices that were not shipped with your HP Server tc4100, certain
configurations may require additional cables or adapters not provided with your HP Server tc4100 shipment.
For part numbers of the required items, such as HP cables, adapters, trays, and configuration information, see
Information Assistant on the HP Server tc4100 Navigator CD-ROM.
For new products, you may use Order Assistant on the HP web site at:
http://www.hp.com
You may select "Buy HP" and choose the country and desired option that best suits your needs. You may also
download the Order Assistant utility.
Tools Required
Torx T-15 driver (non-Hot Swap devices)
Drive Bay Shelves
The non-hot swap drives include the IDE CD-ROM and the 3.5 inch flexible disk drives which are standard for
all HP Server tc4100 models and ship with each unit. The two empty drive shelves beneath the CD ROM drive
support other non-hot swap SCSI devices, such as hard drives, tape back-up devices, or other HP-tested (LVD
or SE) SCSI accessories.
