SMART
The SMART SCSI hard drives for HP workstations have built-in drive failure prediction that warns the
user or the network administrator of an impending failure or crash of the hard drive. SMART drives track
fault prediction and failure indication parameters, such as re-allocated sector count, spin retry count, and
calibration retry count. If the drive determines that a failure is imminent, it generates a fault alert.
Jumpers
All SCSI controllers require a unique SCSI ID (0–15) for each SCSI device installed.
The controller identifies a SCSI device by its SCSI ID number rather than its location. Moving a SCSI
device from one position to another on the SCSI chain does not affect communication between the
controller and the device.
The reserved and available SCSI ID numbers are displayed in the following list:
0 is reserved for the primary hard drive (not reserved for the primary hard drive on Linux).
7 is reserved for the SCSI controller.
1 through 6 and 8 through 15 are available for all other SCSI devices.
When 0 is used for the primary hard drive, set the second hard drive to 1, the third to 2, and so on.
