Cabling SCSI Devices in the Removable Media Bays
You can cable SCSI devices in the removable media bays in several ways:
•
To SCSI connector A on the system board
•
To SCSI connector B on the system board
•
To a SCSI controller installed in an expansion slot
•
To a Smart Array Controller installed in an expansion slot
IMPORTANT:
The ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 server ships with the drive cages cabled
internally to SCSI connectors A and B.
If you want to cable a SCSI device from the removable media bay to SCSI connector A or B,
you must first disconnect the appropriate drive cage cable. Once you have disconnected a
drive cage cable, you must cable it to a controller board to retain use of that drive cage.
IMPORTANT:
SCSI devices in the removable media bay must have a designated SCSI
channel; they cannot be daisy-chained with other devices.
IMPORTANT:
If a SCSI cable ships with your option kit, use that cable rather than the one
that ships with the server bundled in the lower removable media bay blank.
For more information on cabling SCSI devices, see Chapter 7, “Cabling the Server,”
or refer to the documentation that ships with your option kit.
