Remote Control (Top Tools) Board

The HP Remote Control board supports HP TopTools software and comes installed from the factory in PCI slot 2, due to its boot order (Bus 5) and a required cable connection to the I/O board. The I2C cable for the HP TopTools Remote Control card is inserted into connector J1F1 on the I/O board.

HP NetRAID Guidelines

This HP NetServer contains an embedded dual-channel RAID controller, which puts the power of the HP NetRAID series of disk array controllers in the HP NetServer.

HP NetRAID technology lets you link multiple hard disk drives together to provide faster access and/or increased data reliability. With the embedded RAID controller, you can configure your linked drives as RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks).

Disk drives in the hot-swap mass storage cage may be used as either standard mass storage, or configured together as a RAID array.

This HP NetServer is shipped with SCSI A channel enabled as a RAID channel, and the included hot-swap drive is not configured. You can either disable SCSI A channel as a RAID channel, or configure the drive(s) in the hot-swap cage as a RAID array.

To disable SCSI A channel:

Exclude SCSI A channel from the embedded RAID controller, as follows:

1.Restart the HP NetServer.

2.When you see the message "Press [F2] to enter SETUP" on the monitor, press the [F2] function key.

3.When the Setup Utility menu appears, use the up and down arrow keys to highlight "Included SCSI A Channel Yes]."

4.Use the +/- keys to change it to "Included SCSI A Channel [No]."

5.Press the F10 function key to save and exit.

6.Answer "Yes" to the question, "Save configuration and exit now?" The HP NetServer will start up again, and HP Navigator will restart.
