Installing Mass Storage Devices

There are five connectors on the standard SCSI cable, with four of the
connectors intended for the three hard disk drives and one optional backup
tape drive. The standard SCSI cable has a terminator at the end of the
cable.
12. Connect the available power cables to the drives.
13. Replace the left side cover and external cables.
14. Replace the power cord and restore power to Server.
The BIOS and SCSISelect utilities automatically detect the new hard drives
(IDE or SCSI) but you should check the BIOS and SCSISelect settings and
make any necessary changes.
Installing a Third Hard Disk Drive
The first and second hard disk drives (IDE or SCSI) are mounted in the drive cage,
but the third hard drive must be mounted in the fourth drive tray. The fourth drive
tray has four raised mounting posts to a mount hard drive without using any
mounting brackets and is different from the second and third drive trays. The
second and third drive trays are identical and would require mounting brackets.
1. If the Server is already installed and operating, power down the Server as
described in Chapter 2, "Controls, Ports, and Indicators."
2. Disconnect the power cables and any external cables connected to the Server.
If necessary, label each one to expedite re-assembly.
3. Remove the left side cover from the Server.
Refer to Chapter 3, "Opening and Closing the HP Server."
4. Remove the upper front bezel.
Refer to Chapter 3, "Opening and Closing the HP Server."
5. Press in on both tab latches to release the fourth drive tray and pull it out at
the same time. See Figures 4-1 and 4-4.
6. Remove the drive from its shipping container or protective bag and check or
set the following items:
a. Check for bent pins on any of the connectors.
b. If mounting a third IDE hard drive, ensure the drive is set for master and
change the CD-ROM to slave.
d. If mounting a third SCSI hard drive, ensure it is not terminated and set the
SCSI ID jumper for address = ID 2.
