Installing the Hardware
The following sections provide information on installing the hardware components
used in a ProLiant cluster.
Setting Up the Servers
Follow the installation instructions in the Compaq ProLiant server documentation to
set up each server as a stand-alone server. Then use the instructions in the following
sections to configure the cluster.
Setting Up the Storage Subsystem
Refer to the documentation that was shipped with the storage subsystem for detailed
installation instructions.
Installing the Disk Drives, Storage Controllers, and Program Cards
The ProLiant Cluster HA/F500 uses hard drives, storage controllers, and PCMCIA
program cards that must be installed in the storage subsystem (see Figure 3-1).
IMPORTANT: If you are setting up a basic configuration, verify that only one controller
is installed. If more than one controller is present, remove the additional controllers to facilitate
installation.
To install a disk drive (1):
1. Insert a disk drive into the shelf guide slot.
2. Slide the disk drive into the shelf and use the attached lever to push it into place.
NOTE: For optimum SCSI bus distribution, install the disk drives along different SCSI
buses.
