SCSI Cable Installation Guidelines

NOTE: The procedures described in this installation sheet assume that the

server is out of the rack and is positioned on a flat, stable surface.

IMPORTANT: Observe the pre- and post-installation procedures described

in later sections when performing the SCSI cable installation.

CAUTION: Follow the ESD precautions listed in Chapter 2 of the

Server Maintenance and Service Guide of your ProLiant server

when handling any hardware component. You can download a

copy of this guide from the HP website at http://www.hp.com/

WARNING: Failure to properly turn off the server before you

open the server or before you start removing/installing hardware

components may cause serious damage as well as bodily harm.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot

surfaces, allow the chassis and any installed hardware

component to cool before touching them.

Pre- and Post-Installation Procedures Pre-installation Procedures 1. Turn off the server and all the peripherals connected to it. 2. Unplug all cables from the power outlets to avoid exposure to high energy levels that may cause burns when parts are short-circuited by metal objects such as tools or jewelry. If necessary, label each one to expedite reassembly. 3. Disconnect telecommunication cables to avoid exposure to shock hazard from ringing voltages. 4. Remove the top cover.

Routing the SCSI Drive Cables Cable routing for SCSI hard drive varies depending on which expansion slot you installed the SCSI controller board—in the low–profile slot or in the standard height/full-length slot, and to a certain extent, to the location of the cable connectors on the SCSI controller board you installed. CAUTION: Route the SCSI drive cables neatly. If necessary, secure them using the pre-installed cable clips located on the chassis base.
