Recabling for RAID
From the factory, the internal hot plug drives for the HP Integrity rx7620 server are connected to the
integrated SCSI card as follows (when viewed from the front of the server):
• The top left hard drive has a SCSI connector cabled to the management processor (MP) card
• The top right hard drive has a SCSI connector cabled to the Core I/O slot 8 cell 1
• The bottom left and right hard drive has a SCSI connector cabled to internal SCSI cell 0
To use RAID with your hot plug drives, you must disconnect the internal SCSI cables from their embedded
controller and use the Cable kit (A7027-63001). Then follow the appropriate set of instructions given below.
Single Partition Configuration
Figure 4-1 shows the correct cabling for a single partition configuration, as viewed from the front of the
server.
