Refer to the general installation guidelines for general rules regarding drive

General Installation Guidelines
When adding SCSI hard drives to your ProLiant DL380 server, observe the
following guidelines:
■
A maximum of 15 Wide Ultra2 devices per channel can be added.
■
Each SCSI drive must have a unique address. SCSI addresses are
automatically set for the hot-plug drive cage.
■
Compaq SCSI cables for the ProLiant DL380 server are terminated. Be
sure to remove all terminating jumpers from third-party SCSI devices.
■
Supported Compaq SCSI options are not terminated.
Installing ProLiant DL380 Mass Storage Devices
The ProLiant DL380 server contains four drive bays for internal mass storage
devices. A 2 x 1-inch Wide Ultra2 SCSI drive cage option is available for
removable media bays 4 and 5 allowing the installation of two additional Wide
Ultra2 SCSI drives for a total of six hot-plug drives on a single channel. Other
SCSI devices can be installed in removable media bays 4 and 5. These bays
are 5.25 inches wide x 1.6 inches high.
CAUTION:
The ProLiant DL380 server does not support the installation of IDE or
EIDE fixed disk drives.
