Determining Cabling Needs
To determine the SCSI cables needed for your application, follow the procedure
below:
1. Determine whether the cabling needs are internal or external.
2. Determine whether external cabling needs are for primary storage
(hard drive) or for secondary storage (tape drive or CD-ROM in the
removable media bay).
3. Identify the controller type.
4. Identify the drive type, drive cage, and expansion slot to be used.

❏ Fast-Wide SCSI-2 Hard Drive
❏ Fast SCSI-2 Hard Drive
❏ Tape Drive
❏ SCSI CD-ROM
5. Refer to the appropriate entry in the SCSI Cable Usage Matrix in this
chapter to determine the correct usage and routing of the cables for your
configuration.
NOTE: Only those controllers listed in the SCSI Cable Usage Matrix are
supported by Compaq ProLiant 5500 and 5500R servers.
