2. Select a drive bay.
A label has been supplied with your new ProLiant Storage System identifying it
as a Fast-Wide SCSI-2 device. You may want to display this label in a
prominent place as a helpful reminder that this storage system can accept wide
SCSI drive trays.
NOTE:
check the serial number of the storage system. If the 5 th , 6 th , and 7 th characters
in the storage system serial number are HNM, the storage system is a Fast-Wide
SCSI-2 device and will accept both the standard and the wide SCSI drive trays.
Example: xxxxHNMxxxxx.
The serial number tag is located on the back panel of the storage system.

CAUTION Server lockups could occur if a drive is installed into a drive
:
bay that has the same SCSI ID as a device in the server on the same SCSI
bus.
For example: Assume that the SCSI controller is connected to a tape drive
and a CD-ROM drive installed in the server. The tape drive is set to a SCSI
ID of 1 and the CD-ROM drive is set to a SCSI ID of 6. If the external port
of the same SCSI bus is connected to the ProLiant Storage System, drives
can only be installed in storage system drive bays 0, or 2 through 5,
standard, or drive bays 0, 2, or 3, duplexing. This avoids using SCSI IDs
1 and 6 which are already used in the server.
CAUTION: Be very careful when installing a hot-pluggable drive to
ensure that the drive is compatible with the storage system. The wide SCSI
drive trays used in the ProLiant Storage System can be physically damaged if
you attempt to plug them into a storage system that supports only standard
SCSI drive trays. Wide SCSI drive trays are identified with a label and can
be used only in systems that support Fast-Wide SCSI-2. Wide SCSI storage
systems also have a label on the metal panel inside the front bezel
identifying it as a Fast-Wide SCSI-2 device.
To verify that your storage system will accept wide SCSI drive trays,
Install the drive as shown below.
