External Devices; Connecting An External Device Using The Internal-To-External Scsi Cable Assembly - HP ML570 - ProLiant - G2 Setup And Installation Manual

External Devices

You can connect external devices in two ways:
•
To SCSI connector A or B on the system board using the internal-to-external
SCSI cable assembly
•
To a SCSI controller or Smart Array Controller installed in an expansion slot
IMPORTANT: The server ships with the drive cages cabled internally to SCSI connectors A
and B.
If you want to cable a SCSI device to SCSI connector A or B using the internal-to-external
SCSI cable assembly, you must first disconnect the appropriate drive cage cable. Once you
have disconnected a drive cage cable, you must cable it to a controller board to retain use of
that drive cage.
For more information on cabling external storage devices, refer to Chapter 7,
"Cabling the Server," or refer to the documentation that ships with the external
storage device.
