Use of internal hard disk drives in a disk array configuration

To use the internal hard disk drives in a disk array configuration in the server containing a disk array controller board, reconnect the SCSI cables and LED cables on the system board.

The internal hard disk drive interface is connected to the SCSI connector on the system board at shipment.

!Forming of the SCSI cable

To connect a disk array controller, use the SCSI cable connected to the system board. In this case, the SCSI cable needs to be formed. The following shows the cable forming at shipment and how to form the SCSI cable when it is connected to the disk array controller.
