Firmware updates
After installing hardware and powering up the storage system for the first time,
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
(
http://www.hp.com/products/serverstorage ).
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 22 )
• 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.
