G-6Upgrading from the SMART-2 and SMART SCSI Array Controllers

The Smart Array 3200 Controller uses two VHDCI external and two 68- pin Fast-Wide SCSI-2 internal connectors on optional daughterboards; therefore:

❏If you are connecting to Fast-SCSI-2 internal drives, you must attach a 68-pin to 50-pin cable adapter (included in the Smart Array 3200 Controller option kit) to an internal connector on the optional daughterboard to use your existing 50-pin internal ribbon cable.

❏If you are connecting to a Fast-SCSI-2 external storage system, use a VHDCI to 50-pin external cable, which must be ordered separately.

❏If you are connecting to a Fast-Wide SCSI-2 external storage system, use a VHDCI to 68-pin external cable included with the ProLiant Storage System.

For more detailed information on cable connections for your system, refer to your server documentation.

6.Remove the SMART or SMART-2 Controller and replace it with the Smart Array 3200 Controller. Refer to the Smart Array 3200 Controller Installation Guide. It is not necessary to put the new controller in the same expansion slot as the old controller.
