Controller Installation and Cabling Information 4-5
■ Use the internal point to point SCSI cable provided with your server.
■ Attach the point to point SCSI cable from Port 1 of the Smart Array 431
Controller to the hot-plug drive cage.
Non-Hot-Plug Drives
■ Install the non-hot-plug drives into the server’s removable media bays.
NOTE: For additional non-hot-plug drive installation instructions, consult the original
installation documentation that accompanied your drives.
■ Drives need not be of the same capacity, except for maximum space
efficiency when grouped together in the same array.
■ 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.
■ Attach the multi-device SCSI cable:
a. If drives are Wide-Ultra SCSI-3 use the multi- device SCSI cable
that was provided with your server. Attach the multi- device SCSI
cable from Port 1 or the Smart Array 431 Controller to the non-hot-
plug hard drives.
b. If drives are Wide Ultra3 or Wide Ultra2 SCSI, the multi-device
cable may have been provided with your server. If additional cables
are needed, order cable option kit, part number 104936-B21.
NOTE: This cable is equipped to terminate Wide-Ultra SCSI-3, Wide Ultra3 SCSI, or Wide
Ultra 2 SCSI drives.
CAUTION: Cable assembly 269157-006 that is included in option kit
104936-B21 is REQUIRED with Wide Ultra2 drives. Not using this cable may
result in inoperability of your drives.
■ Attach the multi-server cable from Port 1 of the Smart Array 431
