l SCSI controller:
¡ Integrated SCSI controller
¡ Optional integrated RAID controller. See " Activating the Integrated RAID Controller ."
¡ RAID controller card. See " Installing a RAID Controller Card ."
l Cabling:
¡ If a RAID controller card is not installed, connect the appropriate SCSI cables between the SCSI A and/or SCSI B connectors on riser board and
the SCSI A or SCSI B connectors on backplane board to use either the integrated SCSI controller or optional integrated RAID controller in either a
1x6 or 2/4 split configuration.
¡ If a RAID controller card is installed, cables can be connected from the controller card to SCSIA and/or SCSIB backplane board connector(s). A
backplane board connector that is not attached to the RAID controller card will use the integrated SCSI controller or optional integrated RAID
controller if it is attached to the riser board.
¡ If a cable is connected to the SCSIB backplane board connector, the SCSI backplane daughter card must be installed to activate the 2/4 split
configuration. Otherwise, the system will display an error message.
See Figure A -6 to locate the connectors on the SCSI backplane board.
Installing a SCSI Hard Drive
1. Remove the bezel. See " Removing the Bezel " in "Troubleshooting Your System."
2. Open the hard-drive carrier handle. See Figure 7 -1 .
Figure 7-1. Installing a SCSI Hard-Drive
3. Insert the hard-drive carrier into the drive bay. See Figure 7 -1 .
4. Close the hard-drive carrier handle to lock it in place.
5. Replace the bezel. See " Replacing the Bezel " in "Troubleshooting Your System."
6. Install any required SCSI device drivers. See "Installing and Configuring SCSI Drivers" in the User's Guide for information.
7. If the hard drive is new, run the SCSI controllers test in system diagnostics.
Removing a SCSI Hard Drive
1. Remove the bezel. See " Removing the Bezel " in "Troubleshooting Your System."
2. Take the hard drive offline and wait until the SCSI hard-drive indicator codes on the drive carrier signal that the drive may be removed safely. See
Table 2 -3 .
NOTICE: When installing a hard drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully installed. Inserting a hard-drive carrier and attempting to lock its handle
next to a partially installed carrier can damage the partially installed carrier's shield spring and make it unusable.
NOTICE: Not all operating systems support hot-plug drive installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating system.
