HP Kayak XU PC Workstation — Installing Accessories In Your HP PC Workstation
Installing Mass Storage Devices
Disk Striping To achieve top performance through disk striping, a RAIDport™is
provided on the system board aligned with PCI socket 3.
When the Adaptec®FastRAID2 accessory is installed in the PCI
socket and RAIDport, the adapter sets up and accelerates disk striping
on hard disks connected to the internal UltraWide 16-bit SCSI
controller. The Adaptec®RAIDport adapter should be used with one
or more stripped hard disks.
For more information, refer to the “HP FastRAID Installation and
Configuration Guide” that came with your FastRAID2 accessory.
Before Installing an
IDE Hard Disk
Refer to the drive’s installation guide to see if you must set jumpers or
if there is a special installation procedure to follow.
Before Installing a
SCSI Hard Disk
If you are installing an additional SCSI drive, you should assign an
unused SCSI ID to this accessory. SCSI IDs range from 0 to 6 for Ultra
narrow 8-bit SCSI and from 0 to 15 for Ultra wide 16-bit SCSI. SCSI ID
0 is used by the first SCSI hard disk drive and SCSI ID 7 is reserved for
the integrated SCSI controller (the default for narrow and wide SCSI
devices).
NOTE Depending on your operating system, you may need to set a SCSI ID for
Plug and Play devices (SCSI devices that support the SCAM protocol).
If HP FastRAID is installed, you will need to set a SCSI ID.
You should assign an unused SCSI ID to the second SCSI hard disk
drive (for example, SCSI ID 1).
The SCSI ID is usually configured with jumpers on the SCSI hard disk
drive. Refer to the installation guide supplied with the drive for
information on selecting a SCSI ID.
Some internal SCSI disk drives may have termination resistors that
must be removed or disabled before installation in your computer.
Refer to the drive’s installation guide for more details and to see if
there is a special installation procedure to follow.
