HP Proliant DL580 - Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drives and SCSI ID Numbers

Installing Hardware Options
Determining the Proper Hot-Plug Hard Drive Installation Order
The system reads and manages the hot-plug hard drives based on the SCSI ID
number assigned to each drive. For optimal hard drive management and performance,
install the hard drives in the order of SCSI ID assignments. Always populate hard
drive bays starting with the lowest SCSI ID.
Use Figure 5-24 and Table 5-5 to identify the hot-plug SCSI hard drives and SCSI ID
numbers.
Figure 5-24: Hot-plug SCSI hard drives and SCSI ID
numbers
Table 5-5: Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drives and SCSI ID Numbers
Item Description Simplex SCSI ID Duplex SCSI ID
1 SCSI hard drive 1 0 0
2 SCSI hard drive 2 1 1
3 SCSI hard drive 3 2 0
4 SCSI hard drive 4 3 1
Note: Simplex configuration equals all four drives in the server connected to
one SCSI channel. Duplex configuration equals two drives per SCSI channel.
