Chapter 2. Installation & Configuration
CAUTION! The A3312A storage system should only be installed by an HP service
representative. See “Installing the A3312A into an EIA Cabinet”.
This chapter tells how to install and configure the deskside and rackmount storage systems. It includes
information on:
• installing the storage system
• installing additional storage modules
• setting SCSI ID switches
• connecting SCSI cabling
• applying SCSI bus labels
• connecting power cords
• powering-on the storage system
The term hot pluggable, refers to storage modules that can be replaced while the host is operating. Not all
modules are hot pluggable, and some modules require the use of command line utilities before the module
is removed, and after the module is replaced. Table 1 shows the HP systems that support hot pluggable
modules.
You cannot install additional disk modules or DDS tape modules while the host and storage system are
operating. When installing a new storage system, you must shut down the host before you connect power
to and power-on the storage system.
