External Cables
Cables provided with these Compaq storage systems are equipped with
external 68-pin Wide SCSI connectors requiring a 6-foot or 12-foot
VHDCI-to-Wide SCSI cable, depending on the configuration for your system.
In Compaq systems:
■ Rack models of the U1, U2, and UE and the Models 4214R and 4214T
use a 12-foot VHDCI-to-Wide SCSI cable.
■ Tower models of the U1, U2, and UE use the 6-foot VHDCI-to-Wide
SCSI cable.
■ An optional 39-foot VHDCI-to-Wide SCSI cable is available for use
with Enclosure Models 4214R and 4214T.
Cabling External Storage Systems
Preparing the Server
Prevent data loss by backing up all data stored on your server’s hard drives.
Press the power switch on the front panel of the server to place it in
Off/Standby mode. If the server remains unopened, it is not necessary to
disconnect power and peripheral cables when you install an external SCSI
connection.
Consult the user documentation provided with your storage system for exact
cabling instructions and warnings.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting an external SCSI device to the external SCSI connector
on the rear panel of the server, disconnect all devices from the internal SCSI port of the
same channel, including the terminated SCSI cable. See your server documentation for
specific cabling guidelines.
Connecting SCSI Cables
Optional mass storage SCSI devices such as Compaq ProLiant Storage
Systems can be connected to the server with the external SCSI connector on
the back of the unit. To connect your server to an external storage device, refer
to the installation documentation provided with the external storage device and
your server.
