If more than three drives are installed, remove the Delayed Spin-Up jumper on drives with addresses 3, 4, 5,
and 6. To find the Delayed Spin-Up jumper, orient the drive so the circuit board is on top and the power/SCSI
connector is facing away from you. The jumper block is two-thirds of the way up the right edge of the circuit
board. The jumper is in position 2 from the front of the drive and is labeled "DS" (refer to the "Technical
Information" section in the hard disk Installation Guide).
The result of this procedure is that several drives will spin up simultaneously. This may draw more current
than the power supply can provide. If the system crashes due to a power supply failure, replace the jumpers
and command the NOS to wait until the drives are initialized before initializing the network. The spin-up delay
is the SCSI address multiplied by 15 seconds. This means that the drive at SCSI address 5 delays 75
seconds (5 x 15 seconds) before initializing. The NOS must wait at least as long as the drive with the longest
delay so that it can recognize the drives.
You may also reboot (push the reset button) after a Power On if the system completed its boot sequence
before the last drive has spun up.

Boot Problem with Greater than 2 GB HP Disk Array Boot Drive

An array with total capacity greater than 2 GB, such as 3 or 4 drives, may have a boot error while booting the
system. This is a BIOS limitation and can occur with any NOS or OS.
If you have more than 2 GB total capacity, you must make the first logical partition less than or equal to 2
GB. Create the other partitions with the remaining capacity. Use the DOS utility for the Disk Array called
JETSET.EXE.
For example, if you are loading NetWare, which needs to first boot to DOS, create a small DOS partition (for
example, 50 MB) for the first partition in JetSet and then create a second large partition with the remaining
capacity.

HP C2260A Storage System and the Built-in SCSI Connector

The server has a built-in SCSI connector (in the back of the unit) which is a Fast SCSI-2 port. The HP
C2260A Storage System is not compatible with Fast SCSI-2, and has not been supported on this SCSI
connector.
To connect an HP Storage System to the embedded Fast SCSI-2 subsystem, use the HP Fast SCSI-2 Kit
(C3607A). The kit contains an active terminator, driver software, and installation instructions to support the
HP Storage System on the embedded Fast SCSI-2 subsystem.

Disk Array Controller

Use the EISA Array Controller Card shipped with the Disk Array. This card provides the data protection and
hot-spare capabilities of the HP Disk Array. Do not use the Disk Array storage cabinet with any other
controller cards, including the controller integrated server.
IDE 240 MB (D1697A) or 270 MB (D2894A) Hard Disk
Installation and Configuration
If you are installing one or two HP D1697A 240 MB IDE or HP D2894A 270 MB IDE hard disk drives using
the IDE hard disk drive cable (P/N 5182-0016), follow these steps:
1.Connect the first (or only) hard disk to the connector labeled "PRIMARY" on the IDE hard disk drive
cable.
2.Configure the primary drive to be the master drive by moving the IDE disk drive jumper from the CS
position to the DS (master) position. The master drive is usually the first drive, but either drive
can be the master.
3.Connect the second disk drive to the connector labeled "SECONDARY" on the IDE hard disk drive
cable (P/N 5182-0016) and remove the jumper completely.
