Installing the System Disk and Tape
Fibre Channel System Disk
A Fibre Channel system disk (or disk array) should be connected to the HP-HSC Fibre
Channel Interface card located on the HP-HSC I/O Bus Converter in the PMB card cage.
The system disk should be given a device ID of zero (0).
The resulting hardware path (or Primary Boot Path) is 0/52.0.
Connecting the Fibre Channel Cables . This section describes the procedure to
connect the Fibre Channel card.
1. Access the PMB card cage and locate the HP-HSC Fibre Channel card. It will be located
on one of the cards in PMB locations 0 through 5.
2. Remove the black plastic loopback connector from the Fibre Channel adapter.
3. Attach the duplex SC connector cable to the Fibre Channel adapter. Align the slotted
plug with the keyed connector. Push the connector in until you hear it click.
4. Attach the free end of the cable to any fabric (F) port on the Fibre Channel switch.
Record the F-port number.
System Tape Drive Connection
The procedure for connecting a system tape drive is different, depending on whether the
computer has a SCSI system disk or an HP-FL system disk.
SCSI Tape Drive for SCSI System Disk
1. Connect the system tape to the SCSI card in slot 13 of the internal HP-PB card cage.
2. Set the device ID on the tape to be zero (0).
3. The resulting hardware path (Alternate Boot Path) is 0/52.0.0.
SCSI Tape Drive for Fast/Wide SCSI System Disk
1. Connect the system tape to the SCSI card in slot 9 of the internal HP-PB card cage.
2. Set the device ID on the tape to be zero (0).
3. The resulting hardware path (Alternate Boot Path) is 0/36.0.0.
SCSI Tape Drive for HP-FL System Disk
1. Connect the system tape to the SCSI card in slot 9 of the internal HP-PB card cage.
2. Set the device ID on the tape to be one (1).
3. The resulting hardware path (Alternate Boot Path) is 0/36.1.0.
HP-IB Tape Drive
1. Connect the system tape to the HP-IB card in slot 2/3 of the internal card cage.
2. Set the device ID on the tape to be three (3).
