Introduction to the ProLiant Storage System /U
Compaq ProLiant Storage System /U User Guide
Hot-Pluggable Drives
The ProLiant Storage System /U supports these Compaq hot-pluggable drives:
■
1.6-inch Fast SCSI-2
■
1.6-inch Fast-Wide SCSI-2
■
1.6-inch Wide-Ultra SCSI-3
■
1.6-inch Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 10,000 RPM Drive
■
1-inch Fast-SCSI-2
■
1-inch Fast-Wide SCSI-2
■
1-inch Wide-Ultra SCSI-3
ProLiant Storage System /U will accept both 1-inch and 1.6-inch standard
height drives. The drives may be of any storage capacity but must be mounted
on Compaq hot-pluggable drive trays.
In ProLiant Storage Systems U2 (dual bus) models, SCSI IDs are automatically
assigned according to the drive location, allowing 1-inch and 1.6-inch drives to
be easily intermixed. However, to make the maximum use of storage space,
use 1-inch drives for up to six drives per bus.
Maximum Storage
The maximum number of drives that may be installed in ProLiant Storage
System /U is shown in Table 1-1 below.
