1 Introduction The NetServer Storage System/6 provides external mass storage for use with the current line of HP NetServers. The NetServer Storage System/6 is compatible with the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI-2) industry standard. Both Fast and Fast-Wide SCSI-2 are supported. The embedded SCSI controllers in NetServers, SCSI host bus adapters (HBA) or Disk Array Controllers (DAC) provide the SCSI interface between the host system and the storage system. DACs and HBAs are available fro

1 Introduction LED Readout Displays “HP” (the default) or the unit identification number during normal operation, displays status information during a self-test or warns of an error condition. Chassis Keylock The front bezel is locked to the chassis with the key lock near the top of the bezel. When the bezel is in place, it effectively locks the chassis door. SCSI Device Standard SCSI devices, such as a DAT tape drive or an Shelves independent hard disk drive, can be installed in the SCSI devic

1 Introduction General Operating Instructions Please read the following instructions carefully. They contain information on how to avoid data loss and damage to the system due to improper handling. Reset Switch The front panel’s reset switch resets the power supply, performs a self test, and can be used to set the unit identification number. Power Supply Reset If the power supply shuts down, momentarily pressing the reset switch initiates a power supply reset. The reset sequence takes about 15

1 Introduction 2. Release the reset switch when the desired number displays. The unit identification number displayed is stored in the EEPROM. The unit identification number does not change even if the storage system is power- cycled (unless this procedure is repeated). NOTE The power supply does not reset when the unit identification number is changed. Power Cycling On an active network, switching the storage system power on or off while the host system is operating may affect server operatio

1 Introduction Temperature Control Keeping the unit within the range of normal operating temperatures (see Appendix A, “Specifications”) is important to the long life and proper function of the storage system. If the storage system cabinet has been exposed to temperature extremes, allow two hours for it to stabilize to room temperature and humidity before switching on the power. Blank filler panels that cover the SCSI device shelves and the disk module shelves are installed by the factory. The

1 Introduction Hot-Swap Disk Module Care and Relocation Handle disk modules carefully. Disk modules are more susceptible to shock, vibration and electro-static discharge when they are not in the cabinet. Also, do not touch the SCSI edge connector pins when a disk module is out of the cabinet. The oils on your skin could weaken the contact. Once the storage system has been configured and installed, a disk module should not be moved from one hot-swap shelf to another shelf. Relocating a disk mod

2 Cabling Storage Devices and Setting SCSI Addresses This chapter describes the NetServer Storage System/6, switch settings and common cabling configurations. Once the addresses are set and cabling is configured, the hardware can be installed as described in the next chapter. CAUTION Be careful when handling electronic components. Electronic components can be easily damaged by static electricity. Leave these sensitive components in their anti-static bags until you are ready to install them.

2 Cabling Storage Devices and Setting SCSI Addresses The basic procedure for configuring the storage system is as follows: 1. Determine the desired configuration. 2. Power down the storage system and detach all power cords and external cables. 3. Open the storage system door. The procedure is described in the “Opening the Door” section of this chapter. 4. Set the switches that determine the SCSI addresses for the hot-swap cages as described in the “Setting SCSI Addresses” section of this chapte

2 Cabling Storage Devices and Setting SCSI Addresses Setting SCSI Addresses The following is a description of the switch settings on the rear of the hot-swap subsystem cage (see Figure 2-1). The default switch setting is described in the “Cabling Configurations” section of this chapter. NOTE The numbers on the front bezel simply denote the position of the disk module in relation to the hot-swap subsystem. These numbers are not related to the SCSI addresses. Switches 3, 4 and 6 determine the SC
