Upgrading a SCSI Adapter to a Fibre Channel Adapter

SCSI-to-Fibre Channel Adapter Upgrade on page 121 provides instructions to replace one or

more SCSI cards with the same number of VTS-supported Fibre Channel (FC) cards.

Instructions for the 6.03.42 models are included in that appendix; refer to it for the steps

required to replace a SCSI card. This section describes the specific step needed for the

following VTS models:

• VT5900-A, on the HP ProLiant DL585 G1

• VT5900-B and VT5900-C, on the HP ProLiant DL380 G4

• VT5901, on the HP ProLiant DL380 G3

• VT5902, on the HP ProLiant ML530 G2

On the HP ProLiant DL585 G1 (VT5900-A)

After completing step 2 on page 122, remove the SCSI card(s) and install the Fibre Channel

card(s), as follows:

1. From the rear of the HP ProLiant DL585 server, mark each SCSI cable with the port

position to which it is attached. This will make it easier to reattach them to the correct

SCSI ports later.

2. Disconnect the ProLiant power cords as a precaution. Disconnect all SCSI cables from the

SCSI adapters for easier access to the adapter cards.

3. If the HP ProLiant DL585 is mounted in a rack, loosen the front pull tabs and slide the

server out so that you can open the top cover. Do not remove the server from the rails. If

there is a stabilizer foot, extend it so the enclosure does not tip forward.

4. Open the ProLiant DL585 top cover, remove it, and set it aside.

5. Look inside the ProLiant DL585 server to the back where the SCSI and Fibre adapters

are located. You will see a shipping bracket secured with a quick-disconnect pull tab that

you need to release to remove the shipping bracket. Once the shipping bracket is removed,

you can access the blue tabs that lock and unlock the SCSI and Fibre Channel cards.
