Audience Assumptions
This road map is intended for the person who installs, administers,
and troubleshoots LAN servers. Hewlett-Packard Company assumes
that you are qualified in the servicing of computer equipment and
trained in recognizing hazards in products with hazardous energy
levels.
ESD Warning
Tools Required
This HP NetServer contains sensitive electronic devices that can be
damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD hazards are a result
of installation or service personnel failing to ground themselves
properly. To be properly grounded, use a proper ESD wrist strap and
work surface grounded to the HP NetServer chassis.
Installation of some accessories require a T15 TORX or a 1/4-inch
flat blade screwdriver, depending on the accessory.

cover 1. If you are installing memory, remove cover 3. To install
some options, you will need a flat 1/4-inch screwdriver or a T15
TORX driver, depending on the accessory.
Removing and Replacing the Covers
To remove a cover:
and disconnect all power and
telephone cords.
1. Turn off the HP NetServer
WARNING Before removing cover(s), always disconnect the
power cord and unplug telephone cables.
Disconnect the power cord to avoid exposure to
high energy levels that may cause burns when
parts are short-circuited by metal objects, such as
tools or jewelry. Disconnect telephone cables to
avoid exposure to shock hazard from telephone
ringing voltages.
Note that the power switch does not turn off the
standby power. Disconnect the power cord to turn
off standby power. If the backlight on the LCD
display is on, standby power is on.
CAUTION Wear a wrist strap and use a static-dissipating work
surface connected to the chassis at all times.
Before you begin installing your HP NetServer, ensure that you
have the latest version of the software by obtaining the current HP
NetServer Navigator CD-ROM release history. It describes the
latest
btain the release history from one of the HP NetServer information
resources listed here.
To obtain drivers and utilities for the non-HP components of your
system, follow the directions provided by the component or network
software updates to each release of the Navigator CD-ROM,
as well as instructions for obtaining the current release. You can

for future use. If you are installing any full-length PCI boards, also
remove the accessory board retainer (see figure at right). Push on
the button on the retainer to release it, and then slide it out of the
board guide.
Insert each board in the desired slot and
fasten the board's mounting screw at the slot opening at the rear of
the chassis. Connect any required cables to each adapter board. If
you removed the board retainer, reinstall it.
If you are not installing any other
accessories, replace the cover(s) as described in panel 5,
"Removing and Replacing the Covers."
NOTE If you install an ISA non-Plug-and-Play board,
you must reserve system resources (some or
all of: memory addresses, I/O addresses,
IRQs, and DMA channels) for it. Note jumper
settings on the board and write down that
information for reference when you reserve
system resources in panel 12, "Configure the
HP NetServer."
An accessory board can be identified by the offset of the bracket

Boot order for PCI controllers is determined by slot location. The
system searches for a bootable device in the following order:
1. IDE CD-ROM drive with a bootable CD-ROM.
2. Flexible disk drive with a bootable flexible disk.
3. Embedded SCSI controller or embedded DAC.
4. PCI boards in slots in the following order: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

SCSI Addressing
Different form-factor hot-swap disk drive modules can be mixed and
matched within the hot-swap mass storage cage. Because so many
different configurations are possible, the SCSI address assigned to
each module will be different depending on the particular
configuration.
See "Non-Hot-Swap SCSI addressing," below, for addressing
restrictions for non-hot-swap devices.
1. Open the drive module by pressing in on the locking latch at the
end of the drive ejector handle and pulling open the handle.
2. Choose a location in the hot-swap mass-storage cage and gently
slide the module into the cage. Stop when you feel resistance.
3. Slowly close the ejector handle. Verify that the pin behind the pivot
end of the handle engages the hole in the edge of the cage (see
figure at right).
4. With even pressure, gently close the ejector handle until the
Inserting a Hot-Swap Disk Drive Module
This HP NetServer supports both hot-swap SCSI devices,
installed in the hot-swap mass storage cage, and non-hot
swap SCSI devices, installed in shelves 3 and 4 (located
below the CD-ROM drive).
Use only Ultra2 (LVD), SCA-2 connector hot-swap devices in
the hot-swap mass storage cage. You can use any standard
(non-Ultra2) wide, 68-pin single-ended SCSI device in non-
hot-swap shelves 3 and 4, such as a removable hard disk or
a tape backup drive. Narrow (50-pin) SCSI devices are
supported in the non-hot-swap shelves, but require a 68-to-
50-pin cable adapter for connecting the data cable to the
device. (One adapter is provided on the SCSI cable behind
shelf 3.)
CAUTION Do not mix Ultra2 devices with other SCSI
devices. Use only Ultra2 devices in the
hot-swap mass-storage cages. Use only
non-Ultra2 devices in the non-hot-swap
shelves (shelves 3 and 4).
Refer to the documentation that came with the SCSI
device for the jumper location and settings. Refer to the
Technical Reference Card, located in the pouch on the
inside of the NetServer cover, for the recommended SCSI
addresses.
The NetServer SCSI cable is terminated. Verify that no
added devices are terminated.
SCSI Termination
Non-Hot-Swap SCSI Addressing
SCSI Addresses
Jumper Settings
Each SCSI device must have a unique SCSI
address. Devices connected to the SE connector
(those located on the non-hot-swap shelves) and to
the SCSI B connector (not used in the factory-
configured models) share one SCSI bus. Therefore,
each device connected to either of these connectors
must have a unique address (narrow devices may
use addresses 0-6; wide devices may use addresses
0-15, except address 7).
The figure to the right is typical of a SCSI hard disk
drive that may be used in this NetServer. Use this as
a general reference for jumper locations and
settings. Typically, jumpers A0, A1, A2, and A3
determine the SCSI address.

Removing a Hot-Swap Disk Drive Module
1. Let the drive spin down completely before removing it (about
1 minute).
2. Press in on the locking latch at the end of the drive ejector handle and
gently open the handle.
NOTE For maximum storage density and to avoid
configuration problems, install hot-swap drives in
consecutive locations only, beginning with the
leftmost location in the mass-storage cage.
Both half-height (1.6-inch) and low-profile (1-inch) devices may be
installed in the hot-swap mass-storage cage. There are two different
height hot-swap trays available to accommodate different form-factor
devices.
Six low-profile devices or four half-height devices, or combinations of
these two devices may be installed in the hot-swap mass-storage cage.
Because of the height difference between half-height and low-profile
Hot-Swap Module Configurations and SCSI Addresses
devices, some combinations of the two types require spacers to take up
space between devices. The figure below shows the possible
combinations of hot-swap devices possible. SCSI addresses are
assigned automatically depending on the location of a drive module
within the mass storage cage.
SCSI addresses listed here are for SCSI A channel only. Refer to the
for SCSI B channel addresses.HP NetServer LH 3/LH 3r User Guide

drive(s), do one of the following:
Run HP NetRAID Assistant to configure one or more RAID logical
drives. To run HP NetRAID Assistant, select "Execute" from the
Configure Disk Array screen.
Exclude SCSI A Channel from the integrated HP NetRAID
controller, as follows:
a. Restart the HP NetServer.
b. Press function key [F2] when prompted on the boot screen.
c. When the SETUP utility menu is displayed, use the up and down
keys to highlight the "Include SCSI A Channel [Yes]" selection.
d. Use the + and - keys to change it to "Include SCSI A Channel
[No]."
e. Press function key [F10] to save the configuration and exit the
utility program.
f. Answer "Yes" to the question "Save Configuration and Exit
Now?" The HP NetServer will reboot, and HP Navigator will
