Installing the System Disk and Tape
Installing the System Disk and Tape
We suggest that you get the system up and running with only the system disk and system
tape device. Postpone installing the other peripherals until after the OS is booted.
By doing this:
■
You reassure the customer.
■
You verify that the system can run. You quickly learn if any crucial parts are defective.
■
You give yourself time to unpack peripherals.
Installing an Expansion Cabinet
Install the expansion cabinet (A1884A or A1897A) that will contain the system disk and
tape. Consult the 99x/T-Class Systems Expansion Cabinet Installation Guide (PN
A1809-90006) that accompanies the cabinet.
System Disk Drive Connections
The system disk on the 99x and T-Class can be either:
■
A Fast/Wide SCSI disk drive, disk array, or a SCSI disk drive (Series 6000), or
■
An HP-FL (PB-FL) disk or disk array. (Not supported on T600 Systems.)
The procedures for both types are given below.
SCSI System Disk
NOTE
For information on installing and configuring SCSI devices, see the
documentation that accompanies the SCSI card. Also see the
99x/T-Class Systems Expansion Cabinet Installation Guide (PN
A1809-90006).
A SCSI system disk should be connected to the SCSI card in single-high slot 12/13 of the
internal HP-PB I/O card cage, following the guidelines given below.
■
A Fast/Wide SCSI system disk should be connected to the Fast/Wide SCSI card in
double-high slot 12/13.
■
The system disk should be given a device ID of six (6) so that it has highest priority.
■
The resulting hardware path (the Primary Boot Path) is 0/52.6.0.
SCSI System Disk Guidelines .
Observe the following guidelines when using a SCSI
system disk:
■
The system disk must be housed in an expansion cabinet placed immediately next to
the SPU.
