SCSI Cabling
Compaq ProLiant DL580 servers include one active internal SCSI port, one
reserved internal SCSI port, and one active external SCSI connector. A
maximum of five optional Wide Ultra SCSI adapters may be added for an
expanded range of SCSI configurations.
SCSI Ports
The Compaq ProLiant DL580 server includes two SCSI ports located on the
peripheral board. SCSI port 1 supports the Wide Ultra2/Ultra3 SCSI hard drive
cage.
SCSI port 2 supports storage tape drives connected through the external SCSI
connector on the rear panel of the server. SCSI devices interact with the
Integrated Smart Array Controller installed on the peripheral card. A standard
cabling configuration includes a connection from port 1 to an internal SCSI
drive cage and connection from external port 2 to an external tape drive
device.
For additional external cabling options, there are two VHDC SCSI knockouts,
or access holes, located on the rear panel of the server. In the standard
configuration, both access holes are covered with safety panels. Remove the
panels before installing additional SCSI connectors.
