Introduction

This document describes how to cable an HP NetRAID-2M 2 channel, Ultra160 accessory (HP product number P7749A) to the internal hard drives of an HP Server rx2600.
NOTE: These instructions do not apply if you are connecting the HP NetRAID-2M to an external mass storage box. Proceed to the HP NetRAID-1M and 2M Installation and Configuration Guide that shipped with your HP NetRAID-2M accessory.
Before you begin, you will need:
• The two cables included in this kit (either the HP A7071A Internal NetRAID cables for
• T-15 Torx driver
• 3/16-inch hex driver
rx2600 kit or the HP P7749A NetRAID 2M card kit):
— Cable p/n A7231-63007 for dual RAID channel configuration
— Cable p/n A7231-63019 for single RAID channel configuration
• Cable securing clip, also included in this kit (p/n 1400-1675)
• HP P7749A NetRAID-2M card (see Figure 1)
Figure 1: The HP NetRAID-2M Accessory

Installing the HP NetRAID-2M Card

1. If the server is running, shut down the OS and power off the server.
2. Remove the server's side cover (if you have a tower system) and metal system cover as described in the server's operation and maintenance guide.
3. Lift up the PCI cage release lever along with the back edge of the PCI cage, and lift the PCI cage out of the system. See Figure 2.
Figure 2: Removing the PCI Cage
4. Grasp the PCI cage cover and slide it away from the bulkhead end of the PCI cage. Lift the cover off the PCI cage as shown in Figure 3.

5. Install the HP NetRAID-2M card in PCI Slot 4 (see Figure 4). This is required when connecting the NetRAID-2M to the internal hard disk drives.

Cabling the HP NetRAID-2M to the Server

Default SCSI Cabling

If the HP NetRAID-2M is not already installed in your server from the factory, then the internal hard drives for the rx2600 are connected to the integrated SCSI controller with two internal SCSI cables attached to the system board and the hard drive backplane.
• One internal SCSI cable (p/n A7231-63017) is connected to the CH A connector of the
hard drive backplane. This connector is cabled to physical drives 0 and 1 (see Figures 5 and 6).
• The other SCSI cable (p/n A7231-63018) is connected to the CH B connector of the hard
drive backplane. This connector is cabled to physical drive 2 (see Figures 5 and 6).

Recabling for RAID

Your server's internal hard disk drives may be set up for single or dual channel RAID support. To use RAID with your server's internal hard disk drives, disconnect the internal SCSI cable(s) from their controller and the hard disk drive backplane (described below). Then connect the HP NetRAID-2M card to the hard disk drive backplane using either the single channel cable or the dual channel cable that is supplied. Follow the instructions below to accomplish these tasks.
1. To get access to the hard drive backplane and the internal SCSI cables, remove fans 2 and
3. Refer to Figure 7 for their location, then proceed to step 2 for removal instructions.

2. To remove the fans, grasp the fan module that needs to be removed with your index finger and thumb and lift it out of its fan slot. Note that each of the fan modules has indentations for grasping them with your index finger and thumb. See Figure 8.
Figure 8: Removing Fans 2 and 3
3. To remove a SCSI cable, lift up on the fan power bridge as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9: Lifting the Fan Power Bridge
4. Unplug one or both of the SCSI cables connected to the hard drive backplane (see Figure
5), depending upon whether you want to use one or both channels of the HP NetRAID­2M.
Single Channel: Unplug the backplane SCSI cable channel A (bottom) connector. Dual Channel: Unplug the backplane SCSI cable channel A (bottom) and SCSI cable channel B connectors.
5. Remove any unused internal SCSI cables from the server, since these cables are not
terminated and may not remain connected to the system board. Additionally, enough room is not available for the cables to be left unplugged in the server.
To remove unused SCSI cables, you must first remove any DIMMs in memory banks A and B (closest to the PCI cage).
6. Remove the ECI Management card by first disconnecting all power cables and any LAN
or telecommunications cables.
7. Use a T-15 Torx driver to unscrew the two power connector mounting screws and
remove the power connectors from the back of the system. See Figure 10.
Figure 10: Removing the Power Connectors
8. Disconnect the Management card (orange) connector, then remove the Management card
from the system by grasping it by its edges. Once removed, place the Management card on the anti-static bag that the HP NetRAID-2M came in to protect it from static electricity. See Figure 11.
10
Figure 11: Disconnecting the Management Card Connector and Removing the Card
9. Disconnect and remove any unused SCSI cables from the system board as shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12: Disconnecting Unused SCSI Cables from the System Board
For single channel support, plug one end of the A7231-63019 single channel cable into the HP NetRAID-2M card's internal channel 0 (CH 0) connector (see Figure 13). The cable connectors are marked for clarity. Note that part of the cable must be folded down (90 degrees) as shown in Figure 13. Make sure it lies flush against the HP NetRAID-2M card to prevent it from obstructing the access to other PCI slots, with the other part of the cable exiting the PCI cage flush against where the PCI board cover and cable channel will fit on the PCI cage (see Figure 15).
Do not reinstall the PCI cage or plug the other end of the cable into the hard drive backplane yet. This will be described later.

For dual channel support, plug one end of the A7231-63007 dual channel cable into the HP NetRAID-2M card's internal channel 0 (CH 0) and 1 (CH 1) connectors (see Figure 14). The cable connectors are marked for clarity. Note that part of the cable must be folded down (90 degrees) as shown in Figure 14. Make sure it lies flush against HP NetRAID-2M card to prevent it from obstructing access to other PCI slots, with the other part of the cable exiting the PCI cage flush against where the PCI board cover and cable channel will fit on the PCI cage (see Figure 15).
Do not reinstall the PCI cage or plug the other end of the cable into the hard drive backplane yet. This will be described later.

10. Replace the PCI cage board cover routing the RAID cable out of the cover's cable
channel (see Figure 16). Note that the RAID cable should be folded down flush against the HP NetRAID-2M card with the latter half of the cable bent in order to exit through the PCI board cover cable channel (see 1 in Figure 15).

11. Place the PCI cage back into the system. Note that the RAID cable(s) must be flush against the server chassis as it exits the PCI cage cable channel (see 1 in Figure 16). It must then be routed around the chassis side of fan 3 to the hard drive backplane (see 2 in Figure 16) to avoid crimping.

12. Connect the free end(s) of the RAID cable from the HP NetRAID-2M to the backplane. The cable connectors are marked.
13. Reinstall the Management card and power supply connectors.
14. Reinstall any removed DIMMs into the memory banks.
15. Lower the fan power bridge.
16. Reinstall fans 2 and 3.
17. Close the server.
