NOTE: HP currently does not support ultra SCSI mode on the AIC7880
controllers when they are connected to the HP Storage System 6. Ultra SCSI
mode is supported for disks installed in the HP NetServer cabinet and in the HP
NetServer Rack Storage System 8 and 12.
Troubleshooting
SCO OpenServer is very specific about the hardware configuration it expects when
installing. The following limitations apply:
The root hard disk and the install device should both be on the primary SCSI channel.
The root hard disk must be SCSI ID 0. The first SCSI tape drive must be SCSI ID 2.
The first SCSI CD-ROM drive must be SCSI ID 5, or for an IDE CD-ROM use the
CD-ROM as the master device.
The correct SCSI ID is especially important if you are installing from the tape or CD-
ROM drive. If you have a complicated hardware configuration, install SCO
OpenServer using only the minimum system required to install. All additional
hardware can be added afterwards.
N1 and N2 Diskettes
SCO OpenServer comes on floppies, QIC525 tape, or CD-ROM. All versions prior to
OpenServer 5.0.5 require booting the system off the N1 Installation diskette, and perhaps
using the N2 diskette, to build a rudimentary UNIX system as part of the installation
process. OpenServer 5.0.5 has a bootable CD-ROM for installation.
