Drive Installation Guidelines
The following guidelines should be noted when adding SCSI hard drives:
A maximum of seven SCSI-2 devices may be added per controller.
The SCSI ID for each hot-pluggable hard drive is set as shown in
Figure 3-13.
If only one SCSI hard drive is used it should be installed in the
lowest bay.
IMPORTANT: When adding a Compaq SMART-2 Controller, do not attach anything
other than hot-pluggable hard drives to the controller.
External Storage
Optional mass storage devices can be connected to the Compaq ProLiant
5000R Server by using the External Fast-Wide SCSI-2 Port on the back of the
unit, or the Fast-Wide SCSI-2 Port on the optional Fast-Wide SCSI-2
Controllers.
IMPORTANT: If you use the external port, you must disconnect the cable for the
internal drives and connect the cable for the CD-ROM drive to the internal narrow
SCSI connector.
