◊
The embedded dual-channel Ultra-2 SCSI controller includes connectors for SCSI channels
A and B.
◊
Channel A is typically used for cabling the factory-installed hard disk drive(s), which may
consist of five SCSI drives (including an optional tape drive). The standard SCSI cable has
five, 68-pin, high-density connectors for the SCSI devices and has a terminator on the end of
the cable.
◊
The optional HP supplied tape drive comes with a 50-to-68-pin adapter to connect to the
SCSI connector on the cable used to connect the tape drive.
◊
Channel B may be used in a duplexing arrangement or to control an external mass storage
solution. At least two SCSI hard disk drives are required if the duplexing option is used.
Channel B may also be used to connect the optional tape drive, if the lesser speed of the
tape drive slows down disk access time of the Ultra-2 SCSI drives.
An additional cable kit is required for duplexing, external mass storage solutions, or
connecting the optional tape backup drive.
Boot Priority
The NetServer's boot order should be considered when selecting a PCI slot on the system board. This is
especially important if you are installing a board that requires a lower number in the boot order. The board's
boot priority is set by its slot location in the boot order.
By default the NetServer searches for boot devices in this order:
1.
IDE CD-ROM drive
2.
Flexible disk drive
3.
Embedded SCSI A (typically the SCSI Drives)
4.
Embedded SCSI B (typically the external SCSI Devices)
5.
PCI slot 1
6.
PCI slot 2
7.
PCI slot 3
8.
PCI slot 4
9.
PCI slot 5
10.
PCI slot 6
11.
PCI slot 7
The embedded SCSI controller consists of two channels, A and B. Channel A is typically used to control the
SCSI hard drives (4) and optional tape back up drive. Channel B is typically used to control the external
SCSI devices. On each SCSI channel, the controller scans for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and
works through the ID numbers. The NetServer's embedded controller is always SCSI ID 7. If an optional
SCSI backup tape drive is used it would take address ID 4.
NOTE
The boot order can be changed using the NetServer's (BIOS) Setup Utility and the
SCSI Select Utility.
