1 Installation Procedure
This guide describes how to attach an Ultra hot swap hard disk drive to a hot
swap tray and install the hard disk drive in your computer. Additionally, this
guide provides the cautions and instructions for removing and storing the hard
disk drive.
Installing the Hot Swap Hard Disk Drive in a Tray
(optional)
If you purchase a hot swap tray accessory (D3349B) separately from the hot swap
hard disk drive, follow these steps to attach the tray accessory:
1. Make sure that the hot swap hard disk drive meets the specifications
written on the hot swap tray label. If the hot swap drive is capable of
running Ultra2 at LVD (low voltage differential) signal levels, a jumper
must be installed on the drive to force the drive into SE (single-ended)
mode. Refer to the drive manual for the location of a “Force SE” jumper.
NOTE Not all Ultra2/LVD drives have this jumper. If the drive does
not have the Force SE jumper, that drive model will probably
not work with HP NetServer Ultra Hot Swap backplanes.
2. Attach the drive to the hot swap tray with the screws provided in the order
shown in Figure 1-1.

Unpacking and Shipping
Your system has a shipping plug to ensure that the hot swap hard disk drive is
not damaged while it is being transported. Save this plug. If you plan to transport
your system, reinstall your shipping plug as shown in Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2. Shipping Plug
Installing the Hot Swap Hard Disk Drive
CAUTION Use one of the six (6) vertical shelves in the system. Do not
attempt to install the hot swap hard disk drive in the
horizontal shelves.
Protect the hot swap hard disk drive from static electricity by
leaving it in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
Before handling the hard disk drive, touch any unpainted
metal surface to discharge static electricity. When you remove
the hard disk drive from the antistatic bag, handle it only by
the frame.
Do not touch the electrical components. Place the hard disk
drive on the antistatic bag whenever you set it down.
1. If there is a filler panel in the disk shelf, remove that panel.
2. On the hot swap hard disk drive, press the locking tab down, and lift the
lever up as far as it can go. (See Figure 1-3.) Lifting the lever retracts the
locking pin at the top of the hard disk drive.

3. Holding the hard disk drive as shown in Figure 1-3, slide the hot swap
hard disk drive slowly into the shelf until it stops.
4. Press the lever down as far as it will go.
Figure 1-3. Installing the Hot Swap Hard Disk Drive
Removing the Hot Swap Hard Disk Drive
1. To unlock the hot swap hard disk drive, push the tab down and then lift
the front lever.
2. Pull the hard disk drive out about an inch (2.5 cm) to break the power
connection.
3. Wait about 30 seconds for the hard disk drive to stop spinning and the
drive heads to park.
4. Use your hand to support the bottom of the hard disk drive, as shown in
Figure 1-4. Slowly pull the hard disk drive straight out. Do not allow the
hard disk drive to fall.
5. Turn the hard disk drive slowly to its horizontal storage orientation.
6. Place the hard disk drive in an electrostatic protected container. Do not
stack hot swap hard disk drives.

2 Disk Drive Characteristics
The proper settings for the following items will depend on the operating system
(NetWare, MS-DOS, OS/2, Windows NT, UNIX, or Banyan Vines) and
corresponding version number:
•Extended Translation setting for the controller
•Partitions, logical drives or divisions for the hot swap hard disk drive
For non-UNIX systems, partition and logical hot swap hard disk drive sizes also
depend on:
•Partition type (Bootable or Non-bootable)
•File system (FAT, HPFS, NTFS)
To determine the appropriate controller and disk drive configuration, consult the
section below for your operating system.
NetWare and DOS
NOTE If you want to write core dumps onto the hard disk drive,
ensure that the drive has enough space for a complete image of
your total memory.

3 Application Alerts
D4903A Cooling Requirements
The D4903A mass storage device is the first of a family of high performance
10K RPM drives. Adequate cooling is very important. The D4903A drive is
currently supported in the LH Plus, LH Pro, LD Pro, LX Pro, LXe Pro, and
Storage System/6. The drive is not supported in the LH and LS.
D3604A/B Storage System/6 using Ultra SCSI
Drives
Ultra SCSI is an industry standard for transferring data. HP NetServer drives that
come installed as part of Ultra Hot Swap drive accessories are Ultra SCSI
capable. However, Ultra SCSI requires that all components of the system be Ultra
SCSI capable, including the controller, the drives, and the connections. Since the
D3604A/B Storage System/6 is Fast SCSI (20 MB/sec) capable but not Ultra
SCSI capable, this drive cannot be used in Ultra SCSI mode when installed into a
D3604A/B Storage System/6.
Fast SCSI (not Ultra SCSI) must be enabled in the host system, if it is connected
to the Storage System/6 with Ultra SCSI drives installed. Complete information
on using Ultra SCSI in your NetServer can be found on the HP NetServer "News
Updates and Information" web page at:
http://www.hp.com:80/netserver/support/news_main.html
under "Using Ultra SCSI in your HP NetServer"
Hot Swap Drives Must be Parked Prior to
Removal
To prevent handling damage (for example, head slaps or head actuator
unlocking) to a good drive during removal, perform the following steps:
1. Unlatch the drive.
2. Pull the drive out about an inch (2.5 cm) to break the power connection.
3. Wait about 30 seconds for the drive to stop spinning and the drive heads
to park.
4. Carefully remove the drive.
