Step 4. Grasp the PCI cage cover and slide it away from the bulkhead end of the PCI cage. Lift the cover off

the PCI cage as shown in Figure 8-5.

Step 5. Install the HP Smart Array controller card in PCI Slot 3 (see Figure 8-6). This is required when

connecting the HP Smart Array controller card to the internal hard disk drives.

NOTE Do not slide the PCI cage cover back onto the system at this point. You do this later.

Recabling for RAID

If the HP Smart Array controller card is not pre-installed in your server from the factory, then the rx2600

internal hard drives are connected to the integrated SCSI controller with two internal SCSI cables attached

to the system board and the hard drive backplane, as follows:

• One of the internal SCSI cables (p/n A7231-63017) connects to the CH A connector of the hard drive

backplane, and is then routed and connected to physical drives 0 and 1 (see Figure 8-7 and Figure 8-8).

• The other SCSI cable (p/n A7231-63018) connects to the CH B connector of the hard drive backplane, and

is then routed and connected to physical drive 2 (see Figure 8-7 and Figure 8-8).
