SCSI Ports

SCSI Port 2 is dedicated to controlling the SCSI drives in the internal drive

bay. Port 1 controls external SCSI devices through a connector on the rear

panel of the server or internal devices in the removable media area. In order

for external devices to work, all internal cables connected to Port 1 will first

need to be disconnected. See Figure 5-2 of Chapter 5, “Cabling Guidelines,”

for Port 1 location.

Figure 4-1. Locating the external SCSI connector on the rear panel

If you wish to use a SCSI controller other than the Integrated Smart Array

Controller for the internal hard drives, disconnect the point-to-point cable from

Port 2 of the system board and connect it to an optional controller such as the

Compaq Smart Array 3200 Controller.
