4 Accessories

Installing Accessories

This chapter deals with installing those accessories not covered by the
installation road map for your HP NetServer E 45. If you are installing SCSI
mass storage devices, PCI accessory boards, or ISA Plug-and-Play accessory
boards, consult the road map. The following accessories are discussed in this
chapter:

IDE CD-ROM drive

IDE hard disk drive.

ISA non-Plug-and-Play accessory boards

Installing IDE Devices

The HP NetServer E 45 chassis contains six mass-storage shelves. The front four
shelves (shelves 1–4) allow for the installation of a 3.5" flexible disk drive and
three 3.5" or 5.25" mass storage devices. The rear shelves (shelves 5 and 6) allow
for the installation of two 3.5" mass storage devices. An IDE CD-ROM drive is
installed in shelf 2 below the floppy disk drive in shelf 1.

IDE Jumpers

Each IDE device has a jumper labeled "MA" (master), "SL" (slave), and "CS”
(cable select).This three-position jumper determines whether the device is to
function as a master device or a slave device.

If you want the device to function as the master or slave device,
determined by which connector on the cable the device is connected to
(master connector or slave connector), set the jumper to "CS.” The
location of the IDE device on the cable will determine the function of the
device (as master or slave) when the jumper is set to "CS.” If the device
is connected to the master connector (the connector closest to the system
board) it will function as the IDE master device. If the device is
connected to the slave connector (the connector at the end of the cable) it
will function as the IDE slave device.
