COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED

The Smart Array 3200 Controller uses two VHDCI external and two 68-
pin Fast-Wide SCSI-2 internal connectors on optional daughterboards;
therefore:

If you are connecting to Fast-SCSI-2 internal drives, you must attach
a 68-pin to 50-pin cable adapter (included in the Smart Array 3200
Controller option kit) to an internal connector on the optional
daughterboard to use your existing 50-pin internal ribbon cable.

If you are connecting to a Fast-SCSI-2 external storage system, use
a VHDCI to 50-pin external cable, which must be ordered
separately.

If you are connecting to a Fast-Wide SCSI-2 external storage
system, use a VHDCI to 68-pin external cable included with the
ProLiant Storage System.

For more detailed information on cable connections for your system,
refer to your server documentation.

6. Remove the SMART or SMART-2 Controller and replace it with the

Smart Array 3200 Controller. Refer to the Smart Array 3200 Controller
Installation Guide
. It is not necessary to put the new controller in the
same expansion slot as the old controller.
