Installing the Hardware
Opening the Server
Before installing the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2, open the server and gain access
to the PCI/PCI-X bus expansion slots. For instructions on opening the server and accessing
the PCI/PCI-X slots, refer to the documentation that came with the server.
After the PCI/PCI-X slots have been accessed, proceed to the next section, “Installing the
Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2.”
Installing the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2
Use the following general guidelines to install the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 in
a server.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal
system components to cool before touching.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be sure the
user is properly grounded before beginning this procedure. Refer to Appendix B for ESD
information.
1. Locate the PCI/PCI-X bus expansion slots. Refer to the documentation that came with the
server for the specific location of these slots.
2. Depending on the server model, remove the retaining screw or open the expansion slot
latches that secure the PCI/PCI-X slots.
3. Remove the slot cover from the PCI/PCI-X slot. Save the protective cover to use if the
slot becomes empty.
4. Install the adapter into the PCI/PCI-X slot, and press it firmly into place. The contacts on
the adapter edge should be fully seated in the system board connector.
5. Depending on the server model, secure the adapter by replacing the retaining screw or by
closing the slot latch.
To connect the adapter to other devices, proceed to the next section, “Cabling the Single
Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2.”
Cabling the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2
The Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 can be connected to external SCSI devices or to
internal SCSI devices (located in the server). The following sections provide cabling
information for both external and internal connections.
IMPORTANT: All SCSI devices (except CD-ROM drives) that are on the same SCSI bus must be
either internal to the server or in an external storage system, but not both. When using both internal and
external SCSI devices, connect each type to a separate port.
