Termination (internal SCSI devices)
SCSI buses must be terminated at each end. The ends of the SCSI buses in your
server are already terminated.
All the hot-swap drives in your server have automatic termination, and the SCSI
controller provides termination at the other end of the SCSI bus.
You must disable termination on any SCSI devices that you install in the
non-hot-swap bays. Refer to the information that come with the SCSI device for
instructions about setting device jumpers or switches that control termination.
Preinstallation steps (all bays)
Before you install drives in your server, verify that you have all the cables and any
other equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the internal drive.
You might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities. Some of the steps
are required only during the initial installation of an option.
Before you begin:
Read “Electrical safety” on page 42 and “Handling static-sensitive devices”
on page 44.
Read the documentation that comes with the internal drive.
1. Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive.
2. Check the instructions that come with the drive to see if you need to set any
switches or jumpers on the drive.
3. To install the drive, go to “Installing a non-hot-swap drive” on page 71 or
“Installing a drive in a hot-swap bay” on page 73.
