3 Installing Mass Storage Devices

Introduction

The HP Netserver LP 2000r comes standard with an IDE CD-ROM and a

slim-line flexible disk drive, and can accommodate up to six Hot Swap SCSI hard

drives. A SCSI tape backup drive may be connected as an option to the external

SCSI connector at the rear.

Tools Required

No tools are required to install a SCSI drive in the Netserver. If the SCSI drive is

not pre-mounted in its tray, you will need the following tools for this task:

• Phillips size 1 screwdriver

• Check the documentation that came with the drive for additional tool

requirements

Mass Storage Guidelines

• General Guidelines

o Use care when unpacking and handling the SCSI disk drives. The hard

disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and can be easily

damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch.

o Do not stack drives.

o The Netserver may have up to 6 Hot Swap SCSI hard disk drives (HDD).

A flexible disk drive and CD-ROM drive are standard on all models of

the HP Netserver LP 2000r. See Figure 3-1.

o If a backup tape drive is used, it must be connected externally using the

external 68-pin SCSI connector at the rear of the Netserver.

• IDE Devices

o The embedded IDE controller is an Enhanced-IDE dual channel

controller and provides two connectors (IDE-1 and IDE-2) for IDE

devices. Refer to "System Board Layout" in Appendix A,

"Specifications."

o The IDE CD-ROM has only one connector on the cable from the primary

channel (IDE-1) connector.

o A secondary IDE connector (IDE-2) is available on the system board, but

is not used.
