3.5-Inch Hard Disk Drive - NEC Express5800/320Lb User Manual

3.5-INCH HARD DISK DRIVE

The 3.5-inch device bay in front of the server contains six slots in which hard disks with the SCA2
interface are installed.
The figures used in this section show the tower model. The orientation is the only difference from
the rack-mount model.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use any hard disks that are not authorized by NEC. Installing a
third-party hard disk may cause a failure of the server as well as the hard disk.
Purchase hard disks of the following models (as of June 2001):
– N8150-105F (18.1GB, 10,000rpm, Ultra 160/m SCSI)
– N8150-106F (36.3GB, 10,000rpm, Ultra 160/m SCSI)
The OS starts from the hard disk that is mounted in Slot 1 of the primary module
(whose POWER LED is on).
A SCSI controller error having sraql160 as its source may sometimes be recorded
in the system event log. This error is likely to be issued when the hard disk drive
processing cannot keep up in time with requests of the OS, but the processing is
carried on normally thanks to the retry function. So, this does not affect the
operation at all. In case such an error is issued, check the detailed data indicated
below, and if it is "f0030004" or "f0030015," just ignore that log.
If, however, a SCSI controller error whose detailed data is "f0030004" or
"f0030015" is recorded repeatedly (ten times or more in a week time as a rough
guide), a hard disk drive failure is suspected. Contact the maintenance personnel
in such a case.
NOTES:
POWER LED is on to indicate that it is the primary module.
The module that you plug in first will be the primary module (see Chapter 3).
System Upgrade 8-5
Description:
The driver detected a controller
error on \Device\Scsi\sraql160x
[x is a numeral as 1 or 2 for
example.]
In the case where the detailed
data of the above event
properties is represented in
words, the error represents no
trouble if the value from 0034:is
"f0030004" or "f0030015".
