1 Prepare Drive for Installation Introduction This chapter describes the tools, setup information and the steps necessary to install a SCSI hard disk drive into an HP NetServer. The drives documented in this guide are listed in Table 1-1. Table 1-1. Hard Disk Drive Product Numbers HP Product Number Capacity1 D4910A 4.26 GB D4911A 9.10 GB General Installation Steps In general, the steps for installing a hard drive are shown below.
Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation Step 1: Prepare for Installation Gather the tools and the setup information you need to install the drive, before removing the drive from its packaging. Tools You Need To install the disk drive, you need the following tools: • Tweezers, needle-nose pliers or a similar tool for setting configuration jumpers. • A TorxTM T-15 screwdriver or a regular blade screwdriver.
Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation Unpack the Drive CAUTION Shock: Hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and can be damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch. Take care when unpacking and handling the disk drive. If the drop would crack an egg, it will damage the drive. Static: Protect the hard disk drive from static electricity by leaving it in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.

Chapter 1 NOTE Prepare Drive for Installation Some of the product numbers are duplicated, because the type of drive shipped is not always the same. Therefore, it is important that you match your drive to the correct type. The types of drives differ in that the jumpers are in different locations. Refer to the appropriate illustration (Figure 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5 or 1-6) for your type of drive, and note the location of the jumpers.

Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation Step 3: Set the SCSI Address The SCSI address is set using jumpers located on the drive. SCSI addresses range from 0 to 15. • Each drive is preset to SCSI address 3. • Address 7 is reserved for communications with the SCSI host bus adapter. • Addresses 8 to 15 should NOT be used because the HP NetServer will time out waiting for the hard disk drive to spin up. Set the drive to the lowest available SCSI address.

Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation Step 4: Connect SCSI Cable Adapter (if required) The SCSI cable adapter (see Figure 1-11) allows you to connect an Ultra/Wide SCSI drive to a narrow SCSI cable and narrow SCSI controller. If you are not connecting your drive to a narrow cable, continue with Step 5. Figure 1-12. Narrow to Ultra/Wide SCSI Adapter • Plug the narrow SCSI cable into the adapter, aligning the notch in the connector with the slot in the adapter.
2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series This chapter describes the installation of a drive in the NetServer L Series. Step 1: Mount the Drive in the System Determine what type of mounting tray or bracket is correct for the system. Use the tray with the drive activity light for mounting a drive in the front of a NetServer. The drives are shipped already mounted on this tray. To purchase the tray separately, order Product Number D2198B (multipack). Front view Figure 2-1.
Chapter 2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series • Align the mounting holes on the tray or bracket with those on the drive. • Attach the tray or bracket to the drive using the four screws. Step 2: Connect the Drive Activity Light The mounting tray (D2198B) has a drive activity light on the front-panel. The drive activity light flashes during data access and the drive power-on self-test. Connect the drive activity light for your drive as shown in Figures 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 25, and 2-6. Figure 2-2.

Chapter 2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series Step 3: Connect the Drive In this step, you install the drive in the system, and connect the SCSI data cable and the drive power cable. The SCSI cable is connected to the SCSI connector on the system board or to a SCSI host bus adapter board. The correct cable for HP Ultra SCSI-3 drives has an active termination module on one end of the cable.
Chapter 2 CAUTION Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series The connector is keyed. Do not force the connector in the slot. (The red stripe on the edge of the cable denotes the position of Pin 1 on the cable.) • Record information about the new hard disk setup, including: model number, capacity, and SCSI address. • Reassemble your HP NetServer. • Connect all the cables and power cords. • Power up your HP NetServer.
Chapter 2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series • Wait until all drives reach full speed. • Press the Reset button on the system or press the Ctrl+Alt+Del hot-key combination to restart the HP NetServer without powering it down. Do not power-down (power-cycle) the system to restart it, as this causes all the drives to stop spinning.
3 Mount the Drive in the NetServer E 45 This chapter provides instructions for installing a hard disk drive in the HP NetServer E 45. Consider the following when installing a drive in an HP NetServer E Series system. • The HP NetServer E 45 supports up to four 4 GB or four 9 GB drives. • Drive types D4910A and D4911A are supported in the HP NetServer E 45. • Drive types D4910A and D4911A are not supported in the HP NetServer E 40 or the HP NetServer E 30.

Chapter 3 Mount the Drive in the NetServer E 45 • If the drive is in a factory-provided tray, place the drive on a flat surface free from static electricity with the circuit board on the drive facing up. Remove the four screws that attach the drive to the tray and remove the drive. (These screws can be used to mount the drive in the HP NetServer E 45.) Step 2: Mount the Drive in the System To prepare to install the drive: • Turn off your system and the display. • Disconnect the power cords.
Chapter 3 Mount the Drive in the NetServer E 45 Mount the Drive in Shelf 3 or 4 • Remove the drive mounting tray from the system. (See Figure 3-2.) Figure 3-2. Hard Disk Drive Mounting Tray • Align the four screw holes in the bottom of the NetServer E 45 tray with the four screw holes in the bottom of the drive. • Loosely install all of the screws, then tighten the screws to no more than eight inch-pounds (0.9 newton-meter). • Place the tray in the shelf opening and slide the tray into the shelf.
Chapter 3 Mount the Drive in the NetServer E 45 NOTE HP SCSI-3 drives must connect to the actively terminated cable. Using an incorrect cable (or not using an active termination module) will cause data transmission errors. Do not use passively terminated cables with Ultra SCSI-3 hard disk drives. CAUTION The active termination module belongs on the last connector on the cable. Do not remove this terminator.
Chapter 3 CAUTION Mount the Drive in the NetServer E 45 No low level format is needed. HP performs the low-level format at the factory. • Initialize the file system, using the operating system format utility. NOTE If you are experiencing problems with the drive, watch the messages on your monitor while the system boots. A message appears if a drive is not recognized by the HP NetServer (which happens when the HP NetServer attempts to communicate with a drive before the drive has finished spinning up).
A Jumper Settings Each of the drives has an Ultra SCSI-3, single-ended, wide 8 or 16-bit interface data connection. The hard disk drives are shipped without SCSI terminators. These drives are ready to use on a SCSI cable with a built-in active terminator. The terminator power options are: 1. No terminator power is connected to drive terminators or the SCSI bus I/O pin 26 (recommended). 2. Drive supplies own terminator power only. 3.
Appendix A Jumper Settings ID Description DS Delay Spin-Up On* Motor start up is delayed by the sum of the SCSI ID times 6 seconds after power is applied; i.e., Drive 0 spindle starts immediately, drive 1 starts after a 6 second delay, drive 2 starts after a 12 second delay, and so forth. Off ME Motor Start Enable On Drive spindle starts when the Start Unit command is received from the host system. If the Delay Spin-Up feature is on, the Delay Spin-Up feature is overridden.
B Disk Drive Characteristics The proper settings for the following items depend on the operating system (NetWare, DOS, OS/2, Windows NT, UNIX or Banyan Vines) and corresponding version number: • Extended Translation setting for the controller • Partitions, logical drives or divisions for the hot swap hard disk drive For non-UNIX systems, partition and logical hot swap hard disk drive sizes also depend on: • Partition type (Bootable or Non-bootable) • File system (FAT, HPFS or NTFS) To determine the approp
