Smart Array 5300 Controller User Guide

Installing the Hardware
On HP and Compaq-branded products that support hot-pluggable drives, the SCSI
IDs for peripherals are automatically set. For non-hot-pluggable devices, the IDs
must be set manually by using switches or jumpers on the device itself.
IMPORTANT: When replacing an existing Smart Array controller with a Smart Array 5300
controller without reconfiguring the arrays, all of the drives should be connected exactly as
they were on the old controller (port 1 to port 1, controller 1 to controller 1, and so on).
SCSI buses require termination on both ends to prevent signal degradation. In HP and
ProLiant servers and IPF servers, however, the controller, SCSI cable, and backplane
already provide this termination.
Internal Cabling for HP Servers
1. If the device is not hot pluggable, power down the system.
2. Install drives in the removable media bays on the server. Drives that are to be
grouped in the same array should have the same capacity.
For detailed drive installation instructions, consult the documentation that
accompanied your drives.
The exact procedure from this point depends upon whether the device is hot
pluggable.
— If the drives are hot pluggable, go to step 3.
— If the drives are not hot pluggable, go to step 4.
3. Attach the internal point-to-point SCSI cable (provided with your server) from an
internal port of the controller to the hot-plug drive cage.
For duplex drive cage options, use both internal ports.
The hot-pluggable drives are now ready to use.
4. For each SCSI bus, manually set the SCSI ID on each drive to a unique value in
the range of 0 to 15, except 7 (which is reserved for controller use). For detailed
instructions, consult the documentation that is provided with the drive.
5. Attach the multi-device SCSI cable from the internal port 1 or port 2 of the Smart
Array controller to the non-hot-pluggable hard drives.
6. Replace the access panel and secure it with the thumbscrews, as required.
