Installation of ProLiant Storage System /U
Compaq ProLiant Storage System /U User Guide
Installing the Hot-Pluggable Hard Drives
To install the drives into the storage system:
1. Open the front door (tower storage system only).
2. Choose the bay location (SCSI ID) of the drive.
❏
In Model U1 (single bus) systems, it is recommended that drives be
installed beginning at SCSI ID 0 (bottom or left bay).
❏
In Model U2 (dual bus) systems, installation is usually dictated by
the fault-tolerant data protection technique being used. Consult the
reference documentation for your data protection scheme to
determine which SCSI bus each drive is to use.
3. Refer to the markings on storage system front panel to find the correct
location of the drive tray. Markings for 1.6-inch drives are on the left
(top in rack systems), while 1-inch drives are on the right (bottom). The
1-inch and 1.6-inch drives may be intermixed as long as they conform to
the appropriate front panel markings. Note that in model U2 (dual bus)
systems some SCSI IDs are not available with 1.6-inch drives.
