1If you are using a narrow50-pin cable(part number 5182-4551) when connecting to a HP NetServer
E45, a 68-50 pin adapter will also be needed
These HP Ultra3 drives can operate in either Single-Ended (SE) mode as Ultra
drives with a maximum bus data rate of 40 MB or in Low-Voltage Differential
(LVD) mode as Ultra3 drives with a maximum bus data rate of 160 MB. The
terminator on the cable, other drives on the bus, and/or the host controller card,
determines whether the drive runs in SE or LVD mode.
NOTE For any drive to run in LVD mode, all SCSI components on
that bus must be in LVD mode.

CAUTION In a few cases, drives with the same product number can be of
different types and require different jumper settings. If your
drive does not match the type in the figure, check the other
figures for the matching type.
Step 1: Prepare for Installation
Gather the tools and the setup information you need to install the drive, before
removing the drive from its packaging.
Tools You Need
To install the disk drive, you need the following tools:
•Tweezers, needle-nose pliers or a similar tool for setting configuration
jumpers.
•A TorxTM T-15 screwdriver or a regular blade screwdriver.
Setup Information You Need
Before you begin, you need the following setup information:
•The HP NetServer Installation Road Map for your system or Information
Assistant on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM.
•The SCSI addresses available in your system. (Refer to your system in
Information Assistant on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM for
information on determining available SCSI addresses.)

Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation

Unpack the Drive
CAUTION Shock: Hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical
shock and can be damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter
of an inch (.64 cm). Take care when unpacking and handling
the disk drive. If the drop would crack an egg, it will damage
the drive.
Static: Protect the hard disk drive from static electricity by
leaving it in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it.
Use an antistatic wrist strap and a grounding mat (3M
8501/8502/8505 or equivalent). If an antistatic work area is
not available, touch any unpainted metal surface to discharge
static electricity before handling the drive.
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 drive on the antistatic bag whenever
you set it down.
After gathering the information and tools:
•Remove the drive from the packaging.
Step 2: Determine the Drive Type
The type of the drive varies and drives with the same part number may be of
different types.
•Match the drive you unpacked with the type of drive shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1. Identification of the Three Different Types of Drives
NOTE Some of the product numbers are duplicated, because the type
of drive shipped is not always the same. Therefore, it is
important that you match your drive to the correct type.
The types of drives differ in that the jumpers are in different locations. Refer to
the appropriate illustration (Figure 1-2, 1-3, or 1-4) for your type of drive, and
note the location of the jumpers.

Step 3: Set the SCSI Address
The SCSI address is set using jumpers located on the drive. SCSI addresses range
from 0 to 15.
•Each drive is preset to SCSI address 3.
•Address 7 is reserved for communications with the SCSI host bus adapter.
Set the drive to the lowest available SCSI address. Address 0 should be used for
the first drive in the system. Typically, address 1 is assigned to the second hard
disk drive, address 2 is assigned to the third drive, and so forth.
This step assumes the jumpers are accessible. If they are not accessible, it may be
necessary to remove the mounting tray or bracket to adjust the settings.
Each device on the channel needs a different SCSI address. If this is the first
hard drive in the system, complete this step to verify the jumper is set correctly. If
this is one of two or more SCSI devices in the system (and not the first drive),
you must change the SCSI address for the drive.
•If you are connecting an Ultra3 SCSI drive to a narrow SCSI cable1and
narrow SCSI controller, set the SCSI address to 0, 1, 2, or 3.
•If you are connecting an Ultra3 SCSI drive to a wide SCSI cable and wide
SCSI controller, set the SCSI address to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.
Detailed descriptions of all the jumpers are provided in the "Jumper Settings"
appendix. Figures 1-7, 1-8, 1-9, 1-10 and 1-11 show the default SCSI address
settings for each drive.
1When connecting to a HP NetServer E45, a 68-50 pin adapter will also be needed.

Step 4: Connect SCSI Cable Adapter (if required)
The SCSI cable adapter, HP part number 5182-4551 (see Figure 1-8), allows you
to connect an Ultra3 SCSI drive to a narrow SCSI cable and narrow SCSI
controller (9.10 GB only). If you are not connecting your drive to a narrow cable,
continue with Step 5.

•Plug the narrow SCSI cable into the adapter, aligning the notch in the
connector with the slot in the adapter.
•Plug the other end of the adapter into the drive. The shape of the
connector prevents it from being plugged into the drive incorrectly.
Step 5: Continue Installation
If you are installing the drive in an HP NetServer L Series, continue with
Chapter 2. If you are installing the drive in an HP NetServer E 45 or E 50,
continue with Chapter 3. If you are installing the drive in an HP NetServer E 60,
refer to the HP NetServer E 60 Installation Guide.

2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer
L Series
This chapter describes the installation of a drive in the NetServer L Series.
Step 1: Mount the Drive in the System
Use the tray with the drive activity light for mounting a drive in the front of a
NetServer. The drives are shipped already mounted on this tray. To purchase the
tray separately, order Product Number D2198B (multipack).
Figure 2-1. Tray
Consult Information Assistant on the HP NetServer Navigator CD-ROM for your
system for additional information regarding the tray or bracket.
Attach a tray to a drive or change a factory-supplied tray (if needed) as follows:
•Place the drive on a flat surface, free of static electricity, with the circuit
board of the drive facing up.
•If your drive is on a tray that is not appropriate for your server, remove the
four screws attaching the drive to the tray and remove the tray. These
screws can be used to mount the drive on the tray or bracket.
•Place the new tray or bracket on the drive.
•Align the mounting holes on the tray or bracket with those on the drive.
•Attach the tray or bracket to the drive using the four screws.

Step 2: Connect the Drive Activity Light
The mounting tray (D2198B) has a drive activity light on the front-panel. The
drive activity light flashes during data access and the drive power-on self-test.
Connect the drive activity light for your drive as shown in Figures 2-2, 2-3, and
2-4.

Step 3: Connect the Drive
In this step, you install the drive in the system, and connect the SCSI data cable
and the drive power cable. The SCSI cable is connected to the SCSI connector on
the system board or to a SCSI host bus adapter board.
In order to run in LVD mode, the term "LVD" must also appear on the
termination module. (Not all NetServer L Series have LVD 68-pin cables. Some
NetServers have cables with a single-ended (SE) active termination module on
one end of the cable. The SE active termination module is easy to recognize,
because it looks different from the other connectors on the cable, and the word
"active" should appear on the active termination module.)
NOTE HP Ultra3 SCSI drives must connect to the actively terminated
cable. Using an incorrect cable (or not using an active
termination module) will cause data transmission errors.
Do not use passively terminated cables with Ultra3 SCSI hard
disk drives.
CAUTION The active termination module belongs on the last connector
on the cable, opposite the system board or host bus SCSI
adapter. Do not remove this module.
•Turn off your system and the display.
•Disconnect the power cords.
•Detach any external cables.
•Remove the cover from the HP NetServer.
•Remove anyhardware necessaryto reach the cables or insert the drive.
Consult Information Assistant on the HP NetServer Navigator
CD-ROM for your system for instructions.
•Insert the mounted hard drive in your HP NetServer.
•Connect the internal power supply cable to the hard disk drive with one of
the unused cables from the power supply unit.
•Select an available connector on the SCSI cable and connect it to the disk
drive.
CAUTION The connector is keyed. Do not force the connector in the
slot. (The red stripe on the edge of the cable denotes the
position of Pin 1 on the cable.)

Chapter 2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series

•Record information about the new hard disk setup, including: model
number, capacity, and SCSI address.
•Reassemble your HP NetServer.
•Connect all the cables and power cords.
•Power up your HP NetServer.
NOTE If a drive recognition error displays during system startup,
press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system. Do not power cycle
the system because the drive recognition error will likely
repeat.
Step 4: Configure the Drive
The SCSI controller is configured for the drive using a configuration utility.
•If the SCSI controller is not yet configured, run the appropriate
configuration utility, included with your system.
•Consult your operating system documentation for information on
formatting the disk drive for use in the system. Typically, you create one
or more partitions on your new hard drive, using the guidelines in
Appendix B, "Disk Drive Characteristics."
•Initialize the file system, using the operating system format utility.
CAUTION No low-level format is needed. HP performs the low-level
format at the factory.
NOTE If you are experiencing problems with the drive, watch the
messages on your monitor while the system boots. A message
appears if a drive is not recognized by the HP NetServer
(which happens when the HP NetServer attempts to
communicate with a drive before the drive has finished
spinning up).
If the system did not recognize a hard drive:
•Wait until all drives reach full speed.
•Press the Reset button on the system or press the
Ctrl+Alt+Del hot-key combination to restart the HP
NetServer without powering it down.
Do not power-down (power-cycle) the system to restart it, as
this causes all the drives to stop spinning.
