HP Integrity rx4640 Server - Manual (Page 12)

Installing the controller hardware 12
4. For each SCSI bus, manually set the SCSI ID on each drive to a unique value in the range of 0 to
15, except 7 (which is reserved for controller use). For detailed instructions, consult the
documentation that is provided with the drive.
5. Attach a multi-device SCSI cable from the internal connector of the controller to the non-hot-
pluggable hard drives. (The cable might have been provided with the server.)
6. Replace the access panel, and secure it with the thumbscrews if any are present.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating
the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
Connecting external storage
1. On the rear of the server, connect the external cable to the VHDCI connector on the controller, and
tighten the lock screws on the cable connector.
2. Attach the other end of the cable to the storage enclosure, and tighten the lock screws on the cable
connector.
