Cabling Guidelines
Cabling SCSI Devices and Hard Drives
To connect cables from an integrated Wide Ultra3 SCSI controller to an internal
SCSI hard drive or other device:
1.
Install the device. Refer to “Installing a Hard Drive into a Removable Media
Bay” or “Installing a Tape Drive or Other Removable Device,” in Chapter 3 for
instructions.
2.
Be sure that the SCSI ID is uniquely set for each device.
3.
Locate the cable connected to the channel on the system board.
NOTE: HP recommends connecting any non-LVD (single-ended) tape drives or SCSI devices
to a separate SCSI cable to avoid a decrease in Ultra2 or Ultra 3 SCSI device performance. A
separate SCSI expansion board should be installed to accommodate single-ended drives
(drives which are not Ultra2, Ultra 3, or greater).
4.
Secure the next available connector on the cable to the hard drive or SCSI device.
5.
Secure the next available power connector to the hard drive or SCSI device.
