Precautions
Follow the procedures listed below to ensure safe handling of components and to
prevent harm to both you and the HP NetServer:
WARNING Hazardous voltages and high energy levels are present inside
the HP NetServer. ALWAYS disconnect the AC power
cord(s) from the NetServer before removing the cover.
Serious injury may result if this warning is not observed.
WARNING To prevent the rack from tipping over, extend the anti-tip foot
or attach the anti-tip feature before extending the
HP NetServer from the rack. Also lower the leveler feet of the
rack to improve stability and to prevent the rack from rolling.
Failure to use the anti-tip foot or feature and the leveler feet
could result in serious injury.
CAUTION This accessory is sensitive to static electricity and can easily
be damaged by improper handling. Use of a grounding strap is
recommended. Read the following information carefully
before you handle the accessory:
•Leave the accessory in the anti-static container until you
are ready to install it.
•Use an anti-static service kit, such as 3M®8501/8502/8505
or equivalent.
•Before you remove the accessory from the anti-static
container, touch a grounded, unpainted metal surface on
the system to discharge static electricity.

Installing a second hot-swap mass storage cage in your HP NetServer requires
these general steps, which are described in this chapter:
•Step 1: Power Down and Disconnect
•Step 2: Unlock and Remove Front Bezel
•Step 3: Remove Cover 1 and Cover Plate
•Step 4: Install Mass Storage Cage
•Step 5: Remove Fan Assemblies

Step 1: Power Down and Disconnect
Do the following to power down and disconnect the HP NetServer:
1. Back up your system.
2. Bring down the network properly.

Chapter 2 Installation
8
3. Turn off power to the HP NetServer.
4. Disconnect the AC power cords and all external cables from the
HP NetServer.
WARNING Before removing the cover, always disconnect the power
cord(s) and unplug telephone cables. Disconnect telephone
cables to avoid exposure to shock hazard from telephone
ringing voltages. Disconnect the power cord(s) to avoid
exposure to high energy levels that may cause burns when
parts are short-circuited by metal objects such as tools or
jewelry.
Note that the power switch does NOT turn off the standby
power. Disconnect the power cord(s) to turn off standby
power. If the backlight on the front panel LCD is still on,
standby power is still on.
Step 2: Unlock and Remove Front Bezel
To unlock and remove the front bezel, refer to the guides listed below that apply
to your HP NetServer configuration:
•HP NetServer LH 3000/3000r Installation Guide
•HP NetServer LH 6000/6000r Installation Guide
•The Installation Guide for Compaq®4000/7000 Racks for your HP
NetServer
Step 3: Remove Cover 1 and Cover Plate
WARNING If the HP NetServer is installed in a rack, extend the anti-tip
foot or attach the anti-tip feature before extending the
HP NetServer from the rack. Also lower the leveler feet of the
rack to improve stability and to prevent the rack from rolling.
Failure to use the anti-tip foot or feature and the leveler feet
could result in serious injury.
1. If the HP NetServer is installed in a rack, extend the HP NetServer from
the rack. Refer to your HP NetServer installation guide for instructions.

Chapter 2 Installation
9
2. Remove Cover 1 as described in your HP NetServer installation guide.
3. The HP NetServer has a cover plate on its chassis front over the expansion
bay in which you will install the mass storage cage. Unscrew its six
retaining screws, as shown in Figure 2-1, and remove the cover plate.
Figure 2-1. Remove Cover Plate
Store the cover plate and screws for future use, in case you ever remove the
second mass storage cage.
Step 4: Install Mass Storage Cage
NOTE The secondary mass storage cage is shipped with filler panels
installed. Leave the filler panels in place while you install the
cage. Do not install hard disk drives before you install the cage.
If you are installing a hot-swap mass storage cage that already
contains hard disk drives, remove them before you install the
cage.

1. Orient the hot-swap mass storage cage, as shown in Figure 2-2. The
backplane of the cage faces into the empty expansion bay. The connectors
on the cage’s backplane are near the edge closest to the CD-ROM drive.
CAUTION As you insert the cage, be careful not to damage the insulating
sheet covering the cage’s backplane and part of one side.

Figure 2-2. Orient and Insert the Hot-Swap Mass Storage Cage
2. Insert the hot-swap mass storage cage by sliding it carefully into the mass
storage expansion bay, as shown in Figure 2-2.
NOTE If you are installing a secondary mass storage cage that has a
duplex board installed, connect the appropriate SCSI cables
now, before the cage is fully installed. This gives you easier
access to the SCSI connectors. Refer to the HP NetServer
Duplex Kit Installation Guide for instructions.
3. When the cage is correctly positioned, press it firmly into place, so that its
flanges are flush with the chassis front.

4. Using the two circular access holes in the chassis shown in Figure 2-3,
insert and tighten two screws supplied with the upgrade kit.
◊HP NetServer LH 3000 and LH 6000 access holes are on the side of the
chassis.
◊HP NetServer LH 3000r and LH 6000r access holes are on the top of
the chassis.

Step 5: Remove I/O Fans
Before you install the SCSI cable, remove the two I/O fans to gain working space
and access to the SCSI B connector on the I/O baseboard.
To remove the I/O fans, refer to Figure 2-4 or 2-5. Grasp one of the I/O fan
modules, depress the latch on the back of the module, and pull the module straight
out from the HP NetServer. Repeat this for the other I/O fan.

Figures 2-4 and 2-5. To remove it, loosen the thumbscrew, and
pull the air baffle away from the HP NetServer. Be sure to
reinstall the air baffle before reattaching Cover 1.

Step 6: Install SCSI Cable
About Cabling the Secondary Cage
The HP NetServer is normally shipped with the primary mass storage cage
connected to the SCSI A connector on the I/O baseboard. The secondary mass
storage cage can be connected to the SCSI B connector on the I/O baseboard if
that connector is unused. The hot-swap mass storage cages cannot be daisy-
chained; that is, they cannot be connected to each other or to other mass storage
devices.
NOTE Do not use a terminated SCSI cable on either hot-swap mass
storage cage.
The SCSI A and SCSI B channels on the I/O baseboard can both be set to
integrated HP NetRAID (RAID) or LVD SCSI (non-RAID) operation, but both
channels must operate in the same mode, RAID or non-RAID. For more
information on RAID, see Chapter 3.
l To operate both mass storage cages as RAID, connect the secondary
mass storage cage to the SCSI B connector on the I/O baseboard. Refer to
"Cabling to I/O Baseboard SCSI B" below for instructions.
l To operate both mass storage cages as non-RAID, connect the
secondary mass storage cage to the SCSI B connector on the I/O
baseboard. Refer to "Cabling to I/O Baseboard SCSI B" below for
instructions.
l To operate one mass storage cage as RAID and the other as non-
RAID, only connect one cage to the I/O baseboard. Install an accessory
SCSI host bus adapter or an HP NetRAID series adapter to control the
mass storage cage not connected to the I/O baseboard.
NOTE If a duplex board is installed in the primary or secondary mass
storage cage, refer to the HP NetServer Duplex Kit Installation
Guide for cabling information.

Chapter 2 Installation

Cabling to I/O Baseboard SCSI B
To connect the secondary mass storage cage to the SCSI B connector on the I/O
baseboard, install the SCSI cable supplied with the kit as follows:
1. Carefully pull aside the cables for the flexible disk drive and CD-ROM
drive to gain access to the SCSI B connector on the I/O baseboard, which
is shown in Figure 2-6. Handle these cables carefully to avoid accidentally
disconnecting them.

2. Connect the SCSI cable’s 68-pin connector labeled "To I/O Board" to the
SCSI B connector on the I/O baseboard, as shown in Figure 2-6.
To attach the 68-pin connector, press on the center of the connector strain
relief and press the connector into place, as shown in Figure 2-7. Two
clicks indicates the connector is properly installed.
