3 Mount the Drive in the NetServer
E 45 or E 50
This chapter provides instructions for installing a hard disk drive in the
HP NetServer E 45 or E 50.
Consider the following when installing a drive in an HP NetServer E Series
system.
•
The HP NetServer E 45 supports up to four 9-GB Ultra3 SCSI 7200-RPM
drives.
•
Only drive type P1213A is supported in the HP NetServer E 45.
•
All Ultra3 SCSI drives are not supported in the HP NetServer E 40 or the
HP NetServer E 30.
NOTE
The HP NetServer E 45 ships with drive mounting trays
installed in shelves 3 and 4. Drives shipped as accessories
usually come installed on a factory tray, which must be
removed. The drive must be put on an HP NetServer E 45 tray
(See Figure 3-2).
Step 1: Determine the Drive Location
The drive can be mounted in one of several possible locations in the system. If
you decide to mount the drive on shelf 5 or 6 (recommended), you will fasten the
drive to the chassis. If you decide to install the drive on shelf 3 or 4, you will
mount the drive onto a tray, which is installed in one of the shelves.
•
Decide whether to mount the drive on shelf 5 or 6 (recommended) or on
shelf 3 or 4. See Figure 3-1 for the locations of shelves in the system, and
some of the cabling options.
