D4911A 9.10 GB
General Installation Steps
In general, the steps for installing a hard drive are shown below. Please refer to the
detailed instructions in each step before attempting to install your drive.
1. Prepare for Installation
2. Determine the Drive Type
3. Set the SCSI Address
4. Connect SCSI Cable Adapter (if required)
5. Mount the Drive in the System
6. Connect the Drive Activity Light (if appropriate)
7. Connect the Drive
8. Configure the Drive
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.
1The operating system may report a different capacity.

Chapter 1 Prepare Drive for Installation

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.)

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. 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 anti-static 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 anti-static bag,
handle it only by the frame. Do not touch the electrical
components. Place the drive on the anti-static 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.

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, 1-4, 1-5 or 1-6) for your type of drive,
and note the location of the jumpers.
The "Disk Drive Characteristics" appendix shows a legend of the drive control
settings and the jumper control settings for the individual drives.

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.
•Addresses 8 to 15 should NOT be used because the HP NetServer will
time out waiting for the hard disk drive to spin up.
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 Ultra/Wide SCSI drive to a narrow SCSI cable
and narrow SCSI controller, set the SCSI address to 0, 1, 2, or 3.
•If you are connecting an Ultra/Wide 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.

Step 4: Connect SCSI Cable Adapter (if required)
The SCSI cable adapter (see Figure 1-11) allows you to connect an Ultra/Wide
SCSI drive to a narrow SCSI cable and narrow SCSI controller. If you are not
connecting your drive to a narrow cable, continue with Step 5.
Figure 1-12. Narrow to Ultra/Wide SCSI Adapter
•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, continue with
Chapter 3.

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
Determine what type of mounting tray or bracket is correct for 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).
Front view
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.

Chapter 2 Mount the Drive in the NetServer L Series
16
•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, 2-4, 2-
5, and 2-6.
