SCSI Cabling
The Compaq ProLiant ML530 server is configured at the factory for a standard
SCSI configuration. This configuration uses the Dual Channel Wide Ultra2
SCSI controller to handle all SCSI drive bays.
IDE Media Cabling
The Compaq ProLiant ML530 server is configured at the factory to use the
integrated IDE controller to control the high-speed, low-profile IDE CD-ROM
drive.
Power Cabling
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
■ Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an
important safety feature.
■ Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.
■ Disconnect power from the computer by unplugging the power cord from
either the electrical outlet or the computer.
IMPORTANT: The system power in the ProLiant ML530 server does not completely shut
off with the front panel Power On/Standby switch. The two positions of the switch function
as On and Standby, rather than On and Off. The Standby position removes power from
most of the electronics and the drives but portions of the power supply and some internal
circuitry remain active.
Consequently, to remove all power from the system, it is necessary to disconnect the
power cord from the server. In systems with multiple power supplies, it is necessary to
disconnect all the power cords to completely remove power from the system.
