Figure G-2. Cabling configurations for Smart Array 3200 Controller

To upgrade, attach disk drives (internal to the server or external to
ProLiant Storage Systems) to the same numbered ports as the original
controller. If an array spans both SCSI ports of the old controller, it
is necessary to connect internal drives and external ProLiant
Storage Systems to the same numbered ports on the Smart Array
3200 Controller as they were on the original SMART or SMART-2
Controller.
If these port connections are wrong, a system power-on
(POST) message will advise you to reconnect to the correct ports. If both
ports are connected to separate arrays, they may be connected to either
port as long as the relative order of the drives in each array is
maintained.
