HP Smart Array P600-Controller - Manual (Page 11)

Installing the controller hardware 11
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.
5. If the added drives are not hot-pluggable, power up the system.
Connecting external storage
1. Power down the server.
2. Connect an external SAS cable to the external port of the controller.
NOTE: You do not have to disconnect any internal drives on shared internal port 1I because
the controller preferentially discovers devices attached to port 1E. However, drives on the
shared internal port are unavailable until you disconnect the external storage device.
3. Tighten the lock screws on the cable connector.
4. Attach the other end of the cable to the SAS input connector of the external storage enclosure.
IMPORTANT: Drives that are to be used in the same array must be of the same type, either all
SAS or all SATA. (Parallel SCSI drives cannot be used with this controller.)
5. Tighten the lock screws on the cable connector.
6. Power up the enclosure.
7. Power up the server.
