Installing the Disk System

Hardware Requirements

The following hardware is included with the disk system:

One power cord comes with each disk system.

Your host computer must have one of the following:

An on board UltraSCSI port

An UltraSCSI host bus adapter board installed in the host system:

– A6828A Single Port Ultra160 SCSI Host Bus Adapter (HP Series 9000 only)

– A6829A Dual Port Ultra160 SCSI Host Bus Adapter (HP Series 9000 only)

– A7059A Windows and Linux Ultra160 SCSI Host Bus Adapter

– A7060A Windows and Linux Dual Port Ultra160 SCSI Host Bus Adapter

– P3413A Single Port Ultra3 SCSI Host Bus Adapter for HP Netservers

The following accessories are available for your storage disk system:

A6828A Single Port Ultra160 SCSI Host Bus Adapter

A6829A Dual Port Ultra160 SCSI Host Bus Adapter

C2364A High Density 68-pin Terminator for LVD or Single-Ended

The DS2100 and DS2110 support a maximum SCSI speed of U160. Connectivity to
U320 initiators is supported if the speed of the U320 initiator is set to limit
negotiations to U160 speed. U320 drives do not operate reliably at U320 speeds and
are not supported at those speeds. This is due to limitations within the controller and
not the U320 disk mechanisms. Contact your HP support representative for assistance
with the configuration.

Preparing for Installation

Before the disk system is ready for installation, its SCSI IDs must be set and the host
system must be prepared to recognize the newly installed disk system. See your
operating system administration manual for configuration procedures for the host bus
adapter.
