Install Additional Mass Storage Devices

NOTE If you are installing an IDE drive or internal
SCSI devices with certain configurations, you
may need additional cables or adapters. For
part numbers for HP cables, adapters, and
trays, and configuration information, see the
Technical Reference Label on the side of the
chassis or the Management Software CD-ROM.
Preinstalled Devices
A flexible disk drive is preinstalled in Shelf 1
An IDE CD-ROM drive is preinstalled in Shelf 2
A SCSI hard disk drive is preinstalled in Shelf 5 in the
NetServer Model 2100 (SCSI ID=0)
Boot device priority order
The system searches for a bootable device in the following order:
1. Flexible disk drive with bootable flexible disk
2. IDE CD-ROM drive with bootable CD-ROM
3. IDE hard disk drive (if user installs)
4. PCI Slots in the following order: 3, 1, 2, 4

SCSI Termination
The NetServer SCSI cable is terminated. Verify added devices
are not actively terminated.
SCSI Addressing
Each SCSI device must have a different SCSI address or ID.
This address (0 through 6) dictates where each SCSI device is
in the boot priority order and is set by means of jumpers located
on the outside of the device.
The figure and table to the right are an example of a SCSI hard
disk drive that may be preinstalled in your HP NetServer Model
2100. Use this as a general reference for jumper locations and
settings. Refer to the documentation that came with your SCSI
device for the correct jumper locations and settings. Refer to the
Technical Reference Label on the side of the NetServer chassis
for recommended SCSI setting strategy.
