Chapter 2 Installation Installing Hot-Swap Drives CAUTION Protect the drive from static electricity by leaving it in its antistatic bag until you are ready to install it. Before handling the drive, touch any unpainted metal surface to discharge static electricity. When you remove the drive from the anti-static bag, handle it only by the frame. Do not touch the electrical components. Place the drive on the anti-static bag whenever you set it down.
Chapter 2 Installation Step 12: Verify Installation Verify the installation of the second hot-swap mass storage cage and the drives in it. To do so, verify that all of the hot-swap drives are operational by using one of the following: l Hard disk drive LEDs: See "Verifying Hard Disk Drive Operation" below. l HP DiagTools: Run this diagnostic utility to verify the hard disk drive modules. Refer to your HP NetServer’s installation guide, or download HP DiagTools and its guide.
Chapter 2 Installation Light pipes on the module transmit light to these apertures from LEDs on the inside rear of the hot-swap mass storage cage. Verify that the LEDs show the correct status and activity indications for all of the disk drive modules that you installed: 1. Turn on power to the HP NetServer and display monitor. 2. During the Power On Self Test (POST) early in the boot sequence, watch the two LED indicators on each hard disk drive module.
Chapter 2 Installation 4. If one or both LED indicators on a single module are not illuminated during the POST, the module may be installed incorrectly, or its light pipes (shown in Figure 2-15) may be damaged. Light Pipes Figure 2-15. LED Light Pipes on Ultra 2 Hard Disk Drive Module (Shown for Low-Profile Disk Module) Check the light pipe on the module as follows: a. Remove the disk drive module, as described in the HP NetServer Ultra2 SCSI Hot-swap Hard Disk Drive and Tray User Guide. b.
3 Configure Mass Storage About RAID or Non-RAID Operation The disk drives in the hot-swap mass storage cages can be configured in one of two different modes: • RAID configuration: RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) configuration can enhance performance and provide fault tolerance (redundancy). ◊ RAID is the factory default for SCSI channels A and B on the I/O baseboard. ◊ For more information about RAID, see the Integrated HP NetRAID Controller Configuration Guide.
Chapter 3 Configure Mass Storage RAID Configuration To configure the secondary hot-swap mass storage cage for RAID operation, refer to one of the following: l If you connected the secondary hot-swap mass storage to SCSI A or SCSI B on the I/O baseboard, refer to the Integrated HP NetRAID Controller Configuration Guide. l If you connected the secondary hot-swap mass storage to an HP NetRAID Series adapter, refer to the HP NetRAID Series Installation and Configuration Guide.
Chapter 3 Configure Mass Storage Run Setup Utility Use the Setup utility to verify non-RAID (LVD SCSI) control of SCSI channels A and B and to verify the boot device priority and the priority of various hard disk drive controllers within the boot device priority. NOTE To set the boot priority of hard disk drive controllers, also use the Symbios Configuration Utility to set the channel to be searched first for a bootable drive, as described in "Run Symbios Configuration Utility" in later this chapter.
Chapter 3 Configure Mass Storage NOTE The message "Configuration of NVRAM and drives mismatch" indicates that configuration information in the integrated HP NetRAID controller’s NVRAM differs from configuration information in hard disk drives. Do the following to clear configuration information from integrated HP NetRAID NVRAM: 1. Press Ctrl+M to start the HP NetRAID Express Tools utility. 2. On the Tools Management Menu, choose Configure. 3. On the Configure menu, choose Clear Configuration.
