SCSI Hard Drive Installation Guidelines
The following guidelines should be noted when adding SCSI hard drives. See
Chapter 5, “SCSI Cabling Instructions,” for additional information.
The SCSI ID for each hot-plug hard drive is automatically set as the bay
number (Bay 0 = SCSI ID 0).
 Except for hot-plug drives in ProLiant ML370 servers and storage
systems, you must manually set the SCSI ID on each drive to a unique
value in the range of 0 to 6 for each SCSI bus. Consult the
documentation that came with the drive for instructions on setting the
SCSI ID.
 If only one SCSI hard drive is used, it should be installed in the bay with
the lowest number.
 Compaq SCSI non-hot-plug cables are terminated. Be sure to remove all
terminating jumpers from third-party SCSI devices.
 SCSI hard drives on port 1 with the Integrated Dual Channel Wide
Ultra 2 SCSI Controller may be either internal or external drives, but not
both.
 All drives should be Wide Ultra2 SCSI type. Mixing other drive
standards degrades the overall performance of your drive subsystem.
 Drives should be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space
efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive array.
 Run the System Configuration Utility after installing a drive.
Installing Mass Storage Devices
All ProLiant ML370 servers ship standard with four non-hot-plug, removable
media drive bays. The top two bays are occupied with a 3.5-inch diskette drive
and a CD-ROM drive; the bottom two half-height bays are vacant. You can
install one full-height drive or up to two half-height devices in the vacant
media bay areas.
Two half-height removable storage devices such as hard or floppy disk drives
can be installed in the bottom two removable media drive bays. Also, one
full-height storage device, such as a digital linear tape (DLT) drive, can be
installed in the area occupied by the bottom two removable media drive bays.
The following sections provide instructions for installing both half- and full-
height devices. To install a device in this area and to cable the device, refer to
