Installing the StorageWorks RAID Array 410
Hardware
In preparing your array for first time use, you need to connect your workstation and subsystem through
the host adapter board. This chapter, along with your workstation and the associated StorageWorks
RAID Array 410 Subsystem manuals, provides instructions for preparing and installing the host adapter
and the subsystem enclosure.
3.1
Prepare and Install the HP-PB Host Adapter
The HP-PB adapter is a SCSI-2 fast wide (16-bit) differential host adapter. The host
computer is connected to the StorageWorks RAID Array 410 Subsystem through the host
adapter and a connecting cable.
You need the following before you begin:
•
The HP-PB host adapter board (use precautions to protect the board from static discharge)
•
Your computer system hardware manual
•
Appropriate tools to service your host computer
•
The BN21K-05 SCSI cable, three meters long, with a right angle high density 68-pin
connector on one end and a straight high density 68-pin connector on the other
Refer to your system manual for additional reference information on installing a host adapter.
3.1.1 Preparing to Install the Host Adapter
Before installing the host adapter in your HP 9000, Series 800 host system, take precautions
to protect the board from electrostatic discharge. Then perform the following steps:
1. Shut down your operating system using the following command:
# shutdown -h 0
2. When the “System has halted, OK to turn off power or reset system” message is
displayed, power down the host computer and all attached peripherals. Disconnect power
cables from the host computer.
CAUTION
To protect the board from static discharge, wear an electrostatic
discharge (ESD) wrist strap. If a wrist strap is unavailable, ground
yourself by touching a bare metal surface on the computer
chassis. Do not remove the board from its anti-static protective
cover until instructed to do so in the following procedures.
