Internal Disk Devices for the HP 9000 rp7420 Server
In an HP 9000 rp7420 Server, the top internal disk drives connect to cell 1 through the core I/O for cell 1.
Both of the bottom disk drives connect to cell 0 through the core I/O for cell 0.
The CD/DVD/DAT drive connects to cell 1 through the core I/O card for cell 1.
If only one cell board is installed in the server, it must be installed into cell board slot 1 (bottom

Mass Storage (Disk) Backplane
Internal mass storage connections (to disks) are routed on the mass storage backplane, having connectors and
termination circuitry. All disks are hot-pluggable. The HP 9000 rp7420 Server accommodates one internal,
removable media device. Therefore, only one power connector for a removable media device is required on the
mass storage backplane. The mass storage backplane incorporates a circuit that allows power to the internal
removable media device to be programmatically cycled.
