Connecting Additional Internal SCSI Devices

Use the following guidelines to connect new SCSI devices to the Single Channel Ultra320
SCSI HBA G2. To perform this procedure, an additional SCSI cable is needed for each type
of device that is connecting to the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2.

1. Install the additional SCSI devices in the server. Refer to the documentation provided

with the system for specific installation instructions.

2. Plug the new cables into the appropriate connectors on the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI

HBA G2.

3. Route the cables according to the instructions in your server documentation.

4. Attach the cables to the new SCSI devices. Proceed to “Completing the Installation” in

this chapter.

Completing the Installation

After all cabling and connections have been completed, reassemble the server by following
these guidelines:

1. Be sure all cables are routed correctly and are not restricting or being pinched by other

components. Refer to the server documentation for proper routing of the cables for the
server model.

2. Reconnect any peripheral devices to the server.

3. Plug the AC power cord into the server, then into a grounded AC outlet.

4. Turn on any peripheral devices attached to the server.

5. Turn on the server.

Updating the Firmware and Installing the Drivers

Software drivers must be installed in the server to enable communication between the
processor and the new Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2. Some HP servers also require
updated system ROM firmware before they can take advantage of the new features of Single
Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2. HP recommends running the System ROMPaq Utility to be
sure your server has the latest ROM version. For more information, refer to “Upgrading the
System ROM” in Chapter 3.

Proceed to Chapter 3, “Installing the Firmware and Software,” to install the necessary drivers
for the operating system and model.
