SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions SCSI Restrictions This section describes the SCSI restrictions that apply to your workstation in the following areas: • Cables • Connectors and Terminator • SCSI configuration constraints Cables All SCSI devices ship without cables. Only SCSI cables approved by HP can be used to connect your workstation and any SCSI devices. HP offers the following SCSI cables for externally connected Narrow Single-Ended SCSI devices: • K2296 cable with 0.
SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions CAUTION: SCSI cables approved by HP are designed to function within the SCSI tolerances for HP devices. Use of other cables can result in significant problems with system operation. The NSE SCSI definition limits the total cable length of NSE SCSI cables to 6 meters (19.6 feet). The FWD SCSI definition limits the total cable length of FWD SCSI cables to 25 meters (82 feet).
SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions Connectors and Terminators Any NSE SCSI device connecting to the system must use a 50-pin high-density thumb screw connector on the end connecting to the systems external connector. Any FWD SCSI device connecting to the system must use a 68-pin highdensity thumb screw connector on both ends. Any ultra, wide-SE SCSI device connecting to the system must use a 68-pin high-density thumb screw connector on both ends.

The Boot Console Interface Displaying the Status of the System I/O Displaying the Status of the System I/O The IO command lets you identify all built-in I/O devices and optional I/O devices installed in the option slots. It is available in the Information Menu. To use the IO command from the Information Menu of the boot console interface, type: Information Menu: Enter command > IO Information about the built-in and optional I/O devices is displayed, similar to the example below.
The Boot Console Interface Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags auto boot and auto search are variables stored in your workstation’s nonvolatile memory. (Nonvolatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset these flags to new value, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation. auto boot boots the operating system whenever your workstation is turned on.
The Boot Console Interface Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags Autosearch searches for devices in the following order: Primary boot path Alternate boot path Built-in fast, wide SCSI devices SCSI card in slot 1 SCSI card in slot 2 Built-in single-ended SCSI devices Built-in LAN bootp servers NOTICE: Fast wide SCSI adapter option cards installed in the option slots are not searched unless they are referenced by the primary or alternate boot paths. EISA cards are not searched.
The Boot Console Interface Displaying and Setting the Security Mode Displaying and Setting the Security Mode The SECure flag is a variable stored in non-volatile memory. (Non-volatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset this flag to a new value, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation. When the SECure flag is set to on, autoboot and autosearch are enabled and cannot be stopped.
The Boot Console Interface Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode When fastboot is enabled (set to on), your workstation does a quick check of the memory and skips I/O interface testing during its power-on self tests. This enables your workstation to complete its boot process quicker. The default factory setting is for fastboot to be enabled (on). The fastboot mode allows your workstation to boot quickly by performing a less extensive check of the system’s memory.
The Boot Console Interface Displaying the LAN Station Address Displaying the LAN Station Address It is sometimes necessary to supply a LAN station address of your workstation to other users. For example, if your workstation is to become a member of a cluster, the cluster administrator needs to know your LAN station address in order to add your workstation to the cluster.
