Connecting External Storage
IMPORTANT:
Not all OSs, or Smart Array cards support external drives.
To connect external storage, follow these steps:
1.
Power off 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 on the enclosure.
7.
Power on the server.

SAUPDATE Utility
Use saupdate from the EFI Shell to update the firmware image on the HP Smart Array P600.
Command line options are described below. Follow one of these two procedures to run saupdate:.
•
If you are using saupdate from the Offline Diagnostic CD:
1.
Download the firmware and copy it to the EFI partition.
2.
The CD containing saupdate.efi must be in the drive before booting the system to allow
device mapping.
3.
Boot the system to the EFI Shell prompt. The CD drive should appear in the list of mapped
devices as fs0.
4.
Change to this device by typing fs0: under EFI Shell prompt.
5.
If the EFI utility and firmware image files are not located in the root directory, move to the
directory in which these files are located, for example:
fs0:\>cd \EFI\HP\TOOLS\IO_CARDS\SmartArray
Smart Array P400, P600 and P800 Controllers
