How should the SCSI bus be configured?
How should the SCSI bus be terminated?
Is the correct SCSI host bus adapter installed?
Description Further information
Correct configuration of the SCSI bus with
multiple drives can be a complex area and
more help may be required.
Refer to the SCSI Configuration section in the
electronic User’s Guide on the
HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM.
Description Further information
It is unclear if the bus is already terminated
or where an additional terminator should
be placed.
Both ends of a SCSI bus must be terminated.
Typically, when connecting an internal autoloader to
the ribbon cable already inside your server then both
the host bus adapter and the end of the ribbon cable
will already be terminated and no further action is
required. Refer also to the SCSI Configuration section
in the electronic User’s Guide on the
HP StorageWorks Tape CD-ROM.
Description Further information
The server already has a SCSI host bus
adapter but it is difficult to determine what
type it is.
If your server is in its original configuration (no SCSI
adapters have been added or removed) then use
www.hp.com/go/connect to check the
compatibility of your system. You can also check the
SCSI configuration from the boot-up screen or from
the Windows Control Panel, or by using HP Library &
Tape Tools (see page 43).
The server may not have a SCSI host bus
adapter installed.
Use HP Library & Tape Tools (see page 43) to check
whether you have a SCSI host adapter on your
system. If not, you will need to purchase one. Refer to
the
www.hp.com/go/connect web site.
