Installing and Configuring

The HP Server tc2110 will support an HP NetRAID 1M controller board, separate from the SCSI controller board.

SCSI Mass Storage Additions

Table 3-2 lists the number and types of mass storage devices that may be added to the SCSI model of the HP Server.

Installed Devices and Addresses

Factory installed flexible disk drive (FDD) in shelf 1

￿￿Factory installed CD-ROM drive in shelf 2

￿￿A second IDE device could be installed, if shelf 3 is available.

￿￿Factory installed SCSI HDD (shelf 5, address = ID 0

￿￿Optional 2nd SCSI HDD (shelf 6, addresses = ID 1).

￿￿Optional 3rd SCSI HDD (shelf 4, address = ID 2)

￿￿Optional SCSI Tape Backup Drive (shelf 3, address = ID 3) **

￿￿￿SCSI controller (address = ID 7)

￿￿Only used for control of external SCSI devices. This SCSI connector can control up to 15 external SCSI devices.

*The secondary IDE (IDE-2) cable is connected to the factory-installed CD-ROM drive. The primary IDE connector (IDE-1) is available on the SCSI model, but is not supported by Hewlett-Packard.

**A 50-to-68-pin SCSI adapter is provided with the HP backup tape drive.

***The single channel SCSI controller can support up to 15 devices on one connector at a time; however, there are only enough internal storage shelves for 3 hard drives and 1 optional backup tape device. The external connector is only used to control external SCSI devices when there are no internal SCSI devices.

Installing a Second Hard Disk Drive (Drive Cage Mounted)

The first hard disk drive (IDE or SCSI) is always mounted in the top (shelf 5) of the hard disk drive cage. The second hard disk drive should be mounted just below it (shelf 6).

1.If the Server is already installed and operating, power down the Server. Refer to Chapter 1, “Controls and Indicators.”

2.Disconnect the power cables and any external cables connected to the Server. If necessary, label each one to expedite re-assembly.

3.Remove the side cover from the Server.

Refer to “Opening and Closing the HP Server” earlier in this chapter.

4.Press and release the retaining clips at the sides of the drive cage. See Figure 3-6.
