3. Install the adapter by following the installation instructions for installing

PCI boards in your host system manual and on the chassis labels. Align

the adapter card bus connector into the slot. Ensure that it does not

physically interfere with adjacent cards. Press the card gently but firmly

into the slot to seat it properly. The bottom edge of the card should be

flush with the slot. Secure the adapter to the system chassis with a

mounting screw.

CAUTION The adapter is sensitive to static electricity and can easily be

damaged by improper handling. The use of a grounding strap

is recommended.

Before you remove the adapter from the bag, touch a

grounded, unpainted metal surface on the system to discharge

static electricity.

Step E. Install Cables and Set SCSI ID Switches

In this step you connect the adapter’s SCSI channels to the physical drives listed

in Worksheet A and, if necessary, set the SCSI ID switches.

Connect Cables and Set SCSI ID Switches

Install the cables to create the hardware setup you planned in Worksheet A. See

Appendix D for sample cabling diagrams and default switch settings. Also refer

to the system documentation and the Hot Swap Disk Subsystem Cabling

Information label on the chassis for factory default cable configurations and SCSI

ID switch settings. In general, use the SCSI IDs preset on the hot-swap

subsystems.

NOTE For additional information, refer to:

• HP NetServer Storage System/6 User’s Guide

• HP Rack Storage/8 Installation Guide

• HP Rack Storage/12 Installation Guide

Install and remove SCSI cables as follows:

• SCSI cable connectors must be plugged in or removed evenly, not one end

first, to avoid bending the pins. Use the white pull-tab, if present, when

removing a connector.
