If y ou are us ing a nar row 50-pin cable ( part number 5182-4551) when connecting to a HP NetServer

E45, a 68-50 pin adapter will also be needed

These HP Ultra3 drives can operate in either Single-Ended (SE) mode as Ultra
drives with a maximum bus data rate of 40 MB or in Low-Voltage Differential
(LVD) mode as Ultra3 drives with a maximum bus data rate of 160 MB. The
terminator on the cable, other drives on the bus, and/or the host controller card,
determines whether the drive runs in SE or LVD mode.

NOTE For any drive to run in LVD mode, all SCSI components on

that bus must be in LVD mode.

Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation

CAUTION In a few cases, drives with the same product number can be of

different types and require different jumper settings. If your
drive does not match the type in the figure, check the other
figures for the matching type.

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 Torx

Setup I nform ation Y ou Need

Before you begin, you need the following setup information:

TM

T-15 screwdriver or a regular blade screwdriver.

•

The HP NetServer Installati on Road Map for your system or Information

Assistant on th e HP NetServer Navi gator CD-ROM.

•

The SCSI addresses available in your system. (Refer to your system in

Information Assistant on t he HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM for
information on determining available SCSI addresses.)

Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation

Unpack the Dr ive

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 (.64 cm). Take care when un pa ckin g a nd handli ng
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 antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
Use an antistatic wrist strap and a grounding mat (3M
8501/8502/8505 or equivalent). If an antistatic work area is
not available, touch any unpainted metal surface to discharge
static electricity before handling the drive.

When you remove the hard disk drive from the antistatic bag,
handle it only by the frame. Do not touch the elect rical
components. Place the drive on the antistatic bag whenever
you set it down.

After gathering the information and tools:



•

Remove the drive from the packaging.

Step 2: Determine the Drive Ty pe

The type of the drive varies and drives with the same part number may be of
different types.

•

Match t he drive you unpacked with the type of drive shown in Figure 1-1.

NOTE 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, or 1-4) for your type of drive, and
note the location of the jumpers.

Step 3: Set the SCSI A ddress

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.

Set the drive to the lowest available SCSI address. Address 0 should be used for
the first drive in the system. Typically, address 1 is assigned to the second hard
disk drive, address 2 is assigned to the third drive, and so forth.

This step assumes the jumpers are accessible. If they are not accessible, it may be
necessary to remove the mounting tray or bracket to adjust the settings.

Each device on the channel needs a different SCSI address. If this is the first
hard drive in the system, complete this step to verify the jumper is set correctly. If
this is one of two or more SCSI devices in the system (and not the first drive),
you must change the SCSI address for the drive.

•

If you are connecting an Ultra3 SCSI drive to a narrow SCSI cable

narrow SCSI controll er, set the SCSI addr ess to 0, 1 , 2, or 3.

•

If you are connecting an Ultra3 SCSI drive to a wide SCSI cable and wide

SCSI controller, set the SCSI address to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

Detailed descriptions of all the jumpers are provided in the "Jumper Settings"
appendix. Figures 1-7, 1-8, 1-9, 1-10 a nd 1-11 show the default SCSI address
settings for each drive.

Plug the narrow SCSI cable into the adapter, aligning the notch in the

connector with the slot in the adapter.

•

Plug the other end of the adapter into the drive. The shape of the

connector prevents it from being plugged into the drive incorrectly.

Step 5: Continue Installation

If you are installing the drive in an HP NetServer L Series, continue with
Chapter 2. If you are installing the drive in an HP NetServer E 45 or E 50,
continue with Chapter 3. If you are installing the drive in an HP NetServer E 60,
refer to the HP NetServer E 60 Installation Guide.

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

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).

Figure 2-1. Tray

Consult Information Assistant on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM for your
system for additional information regarding the tray or bracket.

Attach a tray to a drive or change a factory-supplied tray (if needed) as follows:

•

Place the drive on a flat surface, free of static electricity, with the circuit

board of the dr ive facin g u p .

•

If your drive is on a tray that is not appropriate for your server, remove the

four screws attaching the drive to the tray and remove the tray. These
screws can be used to mount the drive on the tray or bracket.

•

Place the new tray or bracket on the drive.

•

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.

11

Chapter 2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series

Step 2: Connect the Drive Activity Light

The mounting t ray (D2198B) has a dr ive 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, a nd

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 ca bl e. Th e SCSI cable i s connect ed to the SC SI connector on
the system board or to a SCSI host bus ada p t er board.

In order to run in LVD mode, the term "LVD" must also appear on the
termination module. (Not all NetServer L Series have LVD 68-pin cables. Some
NetServers have cables with a single-ended (SE) active termination module on
one end of the cable. The SE active termination module is easy to recognize,
because it looks different from the other conn ectors on the cabl e, and the word
"active" should appear on the active termination module.)

NOTE HP Ultra3 SCSI 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 Ultra3 SCSI hard
disk drives.

CAUTION The active termination module belongs on the last connector

on the cable, opposite the system board or host bus SCSI
adapter. Do not remove this module.

14

•

Turn off your system and the display.

•

Di s connect the power cords.

•

Detach any external cables.

•

Remove the cover from the HP N e tServer.

•

Remove any hardware necessary to reach the cables or insert the drive.

Consult Information Assistant on the HP NetServer Navigator
CD-ROM for your system for instructions.

•

Insert the mounted hard drive in your HP NetServer.

•

Conn ect the internal power supply cable to the hard di sk dr i ve with one of

the unused cables from the power supply unit.

•

Select an available connector on the SCSI cable and connect it to the disk

drive.

CAUTION The connect or is keyed. Do not force t he conn ector in th e

slot. (The red stripe on th e edge of the cable denotes the
position of Pin 1 on the cable.)

Chapter 2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series

•

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.

NOTE If a drive recognition error displays during system startup,

press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system. Do not power cycle
the system because the drive recognition error will likely
repeat.

Step 4: Configure the Drive

The SCSI controller is configured for the drive using a configuration utility.

•

If the SCSI controller is not yet configured, run the appropriate

configuration utility, included with your system.

•

Consult your operating system documentation for information on

formatting the disk drive for use in the system. Typically, you create one
or more partitions on your new hard drive, using the guidelines in
Appendix B, "Disk Drive Characteristics."

•

Initialize the file system, using the operating system format utility.

CAUTION No low-level format is needed. HP performs the low-level

format at the factory.

NOTE If you are experiencing problems with the drive, watch the

mess ages on your monitor while the system boots. A messag e
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).

If the system did not recognize a hard drive:

• Wait until all drives reach full speed.

• Press th e Re se t button on th e system or p ress the

Ctrl+Alt + De l 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 or E 50

This chapter provides instructions for installing a hard disk drive in the
HP NetServer E 45 or E 50.

Consider the following when installing a drive in an HP NetServer E Series
system.

• The HP NetServer E 45 supports up to four 9-GB Ultra3 SCSI 7200-RPM

drives.

• Only drive type P1213A is supported in the HP NetServer E 45.

• All Ultra3 SCSI drives are not supported in th e HP NetServer E 40 or the

HP NetServer E 30.

NOTE The HP NetServer E 45 ships with drive mounting trays

installed in shelves 3 and 4. Drives shipped as accessories
usually come installed on a factory tray, which must be
removed. The drive must be put on an HP NetServer E 45 tray
(See Figure 3-2).

Step 1: Determine the Drive Location

The drive can be mounted in one of several possible locations in the system. If
you decide to mount the drive on shelf 5 or 6 (recommended), you will fasten the
drive to the chassis. If you decide to install the drive on shelf 3 or 4, you will
mount the drive onto a tray, which is installed in one of the shelves.

•

Deci d e whether to mount the dr ive on shelf 5 or 6 ( recommended) or on

shelf 3 or 4. See Figure 3-1 for the locations of shelves in the system, and
some of the cabling options.

Step 3: Connect the Drive

Connect the SCSI data cable and power cable and complete the drive installation.
The S C S I cable is con nected t o t he SCSI connect or on the SCSI host bus ad apter
board. (If you are using a na rrow 50-pin cable (part number 5182-4551) when
connecting to a HP NetServer E45, a 68-50 pin adapter will also be needed.)

The correct cable for the E 45 or E50 must have an active termination module on
one end of the cable. The active termination module is easy to recognize, because
it l ooks d ifferent from t he other connectors on th e cable. The cable bundled wi th
your system is actively terminated, and is singled ended.

20

NOTE HP Ultra3 SCSI 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 Ultra3 SCSI hard
disk drives.

CAUTION The active termination module belongs on the last connector

on the cable. Do not remove this terminator.

•

Conn ect the internal power supply cable to the hard di sk dr i ve with one of

the unused cables from the power supply unit.

•

Select an available connector on the SCSI cable and connect it to the disk

drive.

CAUTION The connect or is keyed. Do not force t he conn ector in th e

slot. (The red stripe on th e edge of the cable denotes the
position of Pin 1 on the cable.)

Step 4: Configure the Drive

Configure the SCSI controller for the drive using the SCSI SelectTM utility.

•

If the SCSI controller is not yet configured, run the SCSI Select utility,

included with your system.

•

Consult your operating system documentation for information on how best

to format the disk drive for this HP NetServer. Typically, you create one
or more partitions on your new hard drive, using the guidelines in
Appendix B, "Disk Drive Characteristics."

CAUTION 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

mess ages on your monitor while the system boots. A messag e
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).

If the system did not recognize a hard drive:

• Wait until all drives reach full speed.

• Press the Reset button on th e system or press the

Ctrl+Alt + De l 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.

21

A Jumper Settings

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.

Each hard disk drive is configured at the factory for optimum performance on
most systems. With the possible exception of setting the SCSI address, you
should not change default settings. Changing the disk drive configuration can
cause unexpect ed or und es i rable results.

Description

See th e " Set the S C S I A d d ress" st ep in the cha pter " Prepare
Drive for Installation" for detailed information.

Not a jumper in the traditional sense. This is where the drive
activity light connects to the drive.

On* Motor start up is delayed by the sum of the SCSI ID times 6

seconds after power is applied; i.e., Drives 0 and 8 spindles
start immediately, drives 1 and 9 start after a 6 second delay,
drives 2 and 10 start after a 12 second delay, and so forth.

Off Motor start up begins immediately after system power up,

unless Motor Start Enable is on. If Motor Start Enable is on, it
overrides this setting.

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, MS-DOS, OS/ 2, Wi ndows NT, UNIX, Banyan Vines, Windows 2000,
or Linux) and corresponding version n um ber:

• 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 appropriate controller and disk drive configuration, consult the
SPU section for your operating system.
