HP Netserver E 60 - Frequentlly Asked Questions

Q6.
What is the maximum number of internal disk drives support in the NetServer E 60?
A6.
The self-terminating SCSI cable has five 68-pin high-density connectors. The internal mass
storage cage can hold up to four Ultra Wide SCSI hard disk drive devices. In some models
T20Xi tape is installed in the lowest 5 ¼ front accessible shelf.
One 68-pin connector connects to the factory installed hard disk and one 68-pin connector
with 68 to 50 pin adapter connects to an optional tape drive. All systems are shipped with a
68 to 50 pin adapter pre installed on the SCSI cable.
Q7.
What type of SCSI controller is embedded on the system board of the NetServer E 60?
A7.
The NetServer E 60 has an embedded dual-channel Ultra Wide PCI SCSI controller(AIC-
7895). Channel A is used for cabling the factory installed hard disk drive and up to three
additional SCSI drives (including an optional tape drive). Channel B may be used in a
duplexing arrangement or to accommodate an external mass storage solution (either require
an additional cable kit—D8212A or D8214A and D9153A)
Q8.
What is the boot priority for bootable devices in the NetServer E 60?
A8.
1. IDE CDROM Drive
2. Floppy Disk Drive
3. Embedded SCSI A
4. Embedded SCSI B
5. PCI 2
6. PCI 1
7. PCI 6
8. PCI 3
9. PCI 4
10. PCI 5
On each controller, the server scans for a boot device starting at device ID 0 and works up the
ID numbers. The system’s embedded controller is always SCSI ID 7. The optional bundled
tape drive is SCSI address ID 4. All accessory hard drives are set to SCSI ID 3 and should be
changed to unique address as new SCSI devices are added.
Q9.
What is the kind of memory is used in the E 60? What is the maximum memory configuration
in the E 60?
A9.
The E 60 uses Unbuffered ECC memory; 72 bits wide, 168-pin PC 100Mhz SDRAM HP
DIMMs. E 60 has 4 DIMM slots. The E 60 ships with HP 64MB (D7155A) and also supports
128MB (D7156A) and 256MB (D7157A). The maximum memory configuration is 1 GB. (4
x D7157A)
