be sure to verify that the storage system, controllers, HBAs, and drives have the
latest firmware. For firmware and software updates, refer to the HP website
Hot-plug SCSI hard drive options
When adding SCSI hard drives to the storage system, observe the following
general guidelines:
• The system automatically sets all SCSI IDs.
• If only one SCSI hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest SCSI
ID number. ("SCSI IDs" on page
• Hot-plug hard drives must be 1-inch universal SCSI types.
• Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space
efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive array.
