Intel SBX82 manual Installing a Scsi storage expansion unit

Page 47

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

•Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

•Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

•Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

•Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.

•While the device is still in its non-conductive package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the SBCE chassis for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.

•Remove the device from its package and install it directly on the blade server without setting the device down. If it is necessary to set down the device, place it back into its non-conductive package. Do not place the device on your SBCE chassis or on a metal surface.

•Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Installing a SCSI storage expansion unit

To use SCSI hard disk drives with your blade server, you must install the Intel® Blade Server SCSI Expansion Module SBESCSI on the blade server. You will then be able to install two 2.5-inch, hot- swap, SCSI, slim-high hard disk drives in the expansion unit. The SCSI storage expansion unit can contain up to two SCSI controllers that support embedded mirroring (RAID level-1) and embedded mirroring with striping (RAID-1E).

✏NOTE

After you install the SCSI storage expansion unit on your blade server, the blade server and expansion unit together occupy two blade bays in the SBCE unit.

For a list of SCSI hard disk drives supported by your blade server, see the Tested Hardware and Operating System List (THOL) on IBL.

Complete the following steps to install the SCSI storage expansion unit:

1.Review the information in “Safety” on page iii and “Installation guidelines” on page 19.

2.Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server from the SBCE unit.

3.Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, non-conductive surface.
