SCSI Cabling Guidelines
The following guidelines are an overview for first-time cable connections and
installation in the ProLiant DL360 G2 server.
To determine the server cabling needs for a specific application, use the
following procedure:
1. Determine whether cabling needs are for primary storage (hard drive) or
for secondary storage (tape drive or CD-ROM drive).
2. Identify the controller type.
3. Identify the drive type to be used:
GWide Ultra3 SCSI hard drive
GCD-ROM storage drive
4. For information about external cabling, refer to the Compaq website:
www.compaq.com/support/storage
After cabling of external storage options, use the Compaq SmartStart and
Support Software CD to run the following software:
■ RBSU to configure new hardware in the system
IMPORTANT: Always run the System Configuration Utility after installing an option in the
ProLiant DL360 G2 server.
■ Array Configuration Utility, to configure and manage drive arrays for
SCSI hard drives
SCSI Hard Drive Installation Guidelines
Follow these general guidelines when adding external SCSI hard drives:
■ A maximum of 15 SCSI devices per port can be supported externally
(only two internally).
■ Each SCSI drive must have a unique ID.
