Installing Accessories
This chapter deals with installing those accessories not covered by the road map
for your E Series NetServer. If you are installing SCSI mass storage devices, PCI
accessory boards, or ISA Plug-and-Play accessory boards, consult the road map.
The following accessories are discussed in this chapter:
•
IDE CD-ROM drive
•
IDE hard disk drive.
•
ISA non-Plug-and-Play accessory boards
Installing IDE Devices
The HP NetServer E Series chassis contains six mass-storage shelves. The front
four shelves (shelves 1–4) allow for the installation of a 3.5" flexible disk drive
and three 3.5" or 5.25" mass storage devices. The rear shelves (shelves 5 and 6)
allow for the installation of two 3.5" mass storage devices. An IDE CD-ROM
drive is installed in the top front shelf (shelf 2).
IDE Jumpers
Each IDE device has a jumper labeled "MA", "SL", and "CS". This three-position
jumper determines whether the device is to function as a master device or a slave
device.
•
If you want the device to function as the master or slave device,
determined by which connector on the cable the device is connected to
(master connector or slave connector), set the jumper to "CS". The
location of the IDE device on the cable will determine the function of the
device (as master or slave) when the jumper is set to "CS". If the device is
connected to the master connector (the connector closest to the system
board) it will function as the IDE master device. If the device is connected
to the slave connector (the connector at the end of the cable) it will
function as the IDE slave device.
NOTE
Whenever adding devices to, or changing the location of
devices on the IDE cable, set the jumper to "CS" on all devices
connected to the cable.
