On-board SCSI consists of two channels, A and B. Channel A controls the HP
NetServer's internal hard disk drives. Channel B handles the HP NetServer's
external SCSI port.
On each SCSI channel, the server scans for a boot device starting at device ID 0
and works up from there.

Installing a Hot-Swap Hard Disk Drive

CAUTION
Protect the drive from static electricity by leaving it in its
anti-static 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.
Hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and
can be damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch.
Take care when unpacking and handling the drive. If the
drop would crack an egg, it will damage the drive.
1. If there is a filler plug in the hot-swap mass storage location, remove the
filler as follows:
a. Press in the locking latch and insert your fingers.
b. Using your fingers, pull the filler plug straight out. See Figure 4-1.
