1 Introduction  
The NetServer Storage System/6 provides external mass storage for use with the  
current line of HP NetServers. The NetServer Storage System/6 is compatible  
with the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI-2) industry standard. Both  
Fast and Fast-Wide SCSI-2 are supported. The embedded SCSI controllers in  
NetServers, SCSI host bus adapters (HBA) or Disk Array Controllers (DAC)  
provide the SCSI interface between the host system and the storage system.  
DACs and HBAs are available from Hewlett-Packard (check with your dealer).  
The NetServers, HBAs and DACs include software that supports a variety of  
operating systems.  
The chassis contains horizontal mass storage shelves called SCSI device shelves  
in the upper area of the chassis and a hot-swap subsystem with six hot-swap  
shelves in two cages in the lower area. The SCSI device shelves support SCSI  
devices, such as tape drives. The hot-swap shelves support SCA-2 hot-swap disk  
modules provided by HP.  
The SCSI connectors on the rear panel connect the storage system to the host  
system. The SCSI bus terminates inside the storage system cabinet. A power  
supply and the internal cabling necessary for most configurations are included in  
the storage system.  
The NetServer Storage System/6 can be configured to solve a variety of storage  
problems. The disk modules are available in a variety of capacities to meet your  
mass storage needs. Mass storage devices and external SCSI cables are not  
included with the storage system. They must be ordered separately from your HP  
dealer.

Standard SCSI devices, such as a DAT tape drive or an  
independent hard disk drive, can be installed in the SCSI  
device shelves.  
Drive Activity  
(LED) Light  
The LED lights while the drive spins up. It goes off when  
the drive has spun up and is idle and flashes when the drive  
in the module is reading or writing data. If, after the drive  
has spun up, the light remains on, the drive may be hung. If  
you suspect the drive is hung, refer to the “Troubleshooting”  
chapter in this manual.  
Drive Power  
(LED) Light  
Indicates the status of drive power and warns of an over  
temperature condition. The LED lights green when the disk  
module has been fully inserted into the shelf and power is  
good.  
If a single drive is flashing yellow, it indicates a faulty  
power condition. If all the drives in a cage are flashing  
yellow, it indicates a possible over temperature condition. If  
all the drives in a cage are flashing red, it indicates the  
temperature has exceeded the operational range.  
Immediately begin shut-down procedures and refer to the  
“Troubleshooting” chapter in this manual.

1 Introduction  
General Operating Instructions  
Please read the following instructions carefully. They contain information on  
how to avoid data loss and damage to the system due to improper handling.  
Reset Switch  
The front panel’s reset switch resets the power supply, performs a self test, and  
can be used to set the unit identification number.  
Power Supply Reset  
If the power supply shuts down, momentarily pressing the reset switch initiates a  
power supply reset. The reset sequence takes about 15 seconds. The display and  
power-on LED are off during the reset sequence.  
Self-Test  
When a self-test is performed, the results are displayed on the LED. To perform  
a self-test, complete the following procedure:  
1. With the power switch off, hold the reset switch and turn the power on.  
2. Release the reset switch. The seven-segment LED blinks “8.8.” five  
times, then displays the firmware revision number. The unit then  
performs a power supply reset, as described above.  
Unit Identification Number  
A unit identification number can be set for identification purposes. It has no  
impact on the operation of the storage system. To change the unit identification  
number, complete the following procedure:  
1. Press and hold the reset switch for approximately five seconds, until the  
LED starts its count (at one-second intervals). The numbers 1 through 16  
and the letters “HP” display in sequence (“HP” is the default unit  
identification number).  
7
 
1 Introduction  
2. Release the reset switch when the desired number displays. The unit  
identification number displayed is stored in the EEPROM. The unit  
identification number does not change even if the storage system is power-  
cycled (unless this procedure is repeated).  
NOTE  
The power supply does not reset when the unit identification  
number is changed.  
Power Cycling  
On an active network, switching the storage system power on or off while the  
host system is operating may affect server operation. Always make sure it is safe  
to cycle the power before doing so. Alert network users that the mass storage  
will be unavailable while the power is off.  
For example, if you are using the HP DAC Write Cache, power cycling could  
result in data loss. When using the Write Cache, use the JetSet utility (provided  
with HP NetServers) to flush the cache before you cycle power. Wait until the  
disk drives are idle and the Write Cache (if used) has been flushed before  
switching off power. This avoids corrupting any data transfer that may be in  
progress between the host system and a disk.  
The status lights on the front of each disk indicate activity. The lights flash  
when the host system is transferring data. If no lights are flashing, the bus is idle  
and it is safe to switch off the power.  
Continuous Operation  
The storage system power should remain on whenever the host system is  
operating. The disk drives are not harmed by continuous operation; avoid cycling  
power unnecessarily.  
8
 
1 Introduction  
Temperature Control  
Keeping the unit within the range of normal operating temperatures (see  
Appendix A, “Specifications”) is important to the long life and proper function of  
the storage system. If the storage system cabinet has been exposed to temperature  
extremes, allow two hours for it to stabilize to room temperature and humidity  
before switching on the power.  
Blank filler panels that cover the SCSI device shelves and the disk module  
shelves are installed by the factory. These panels must remain installed for the  
product to comply with safety and regulatory requirements, and to provide proper  
cooling for the disk modules. If a SCSI device shelf filler panel is lost, you can  
order replacements (part number C3310-60017). If a hot-swap storage device  
shelf filler panel is lost, you can order replacements (part number 5063-5676).  
CAUTION To avoid the hazard of electrical shock and to ensure the cooling  
system functions properly, the storage system should not be  
operated with the door open.  
If “FF” (fan fault) is displayed on the LED panel, the cooling fan has failed.  
Shut down the system as quickly as possible. Continued operation of the storage  
system with a failed fan could result in loss of data or damage to the storage  
system and installed devices.  
The LEDs on the disk drive modules indicate the status of the cage. If all the  
disk drive module LEDs in a cage are flashing yellow, it indicates a possible over  
temperature condition in that cage. If all the drives in a cage are flashing red, it  
indicates the temperature in that cage has exceeded the operational temperature  
range. Immediately begin shut-down procedures and refer to the  
“Troubleshooting” chapter in this manual.  
Placement  
Do not block the cooling vents. Do not place the storage system closer than 6  
inches to a wall to ensure sufficient air flow and cooling.

1 Introduction  
Hot-Swap Disk Module Care and Relocation  
Handle disk modules carefully. Disk modules are more susceptible to shock,  
vibration and electro-static discharge when they are not in the cabinet. Also, do  
not touch the SCSI edge connector pins when a disk module is out of the cabinet.  
The oils on your skin could weaken the contact.  
Once the storage system has been configured and installed, a disk module should  
not be moved from one hot-swap shelf to another shelf. Relocating a disk module  
changes the SCSI address of that disk. If the SCSI address is changed, the  
storage system is not able to read the information on that disk and data will be  
lost.  
Each disk module shelf is numbered. It is recommended that you mark each  
module with its shelf number prior to installation. If a disk module fails, remove  
the failed module and place a new module in the same shelf. Placing a  
replacement module in a different shelf or relocating a disk module will result in  
the loss of data.  
Spin Up  
The storage system must be powered up and the drives on the storage system  
allowed to “spin up” to speed before the HP NetServer is powered on. The drive  
activity light is on while the drive spins up. The light is off when the drive has  
spun up and there is no read/write activity. If the HP NetServer is powered on  
before the storage system is powered on and the drives have spun up, the host  
will not recognize the storage system devices.  
NOTE  
If the SCSI addresses of the hot-swap shelves are set to 1-3 or 9-11,  
they are programmed to delay startup. Wait at least two minutes  
after the storage systems are powered up before powering up the  
host system if any SCSI address is set to 1-3 or 9-11.  
Using an Uninterruptible Power Supply  
It is recommended that you operate your storage system on an uninterruptible  
power supply (UPS). If you do, refer to the documentation included with the UPS  
for complete instructions on connecting your storage system. The recommended  
UPS budget for a fully loaded storage system is 600VA.

2 Cabling Storage Devices and Setting  
SCSI Addresses  
This chapter describes the NetServer Storage System/6, switch settings and  
common cabling configurations. Once the addresses are set and cabling is  
configured, the hardware can be installed as described in the next chapter.  
CAUTION Be careful when handling electronic components. Electronic  
components can be easily damaged by static electricity. Leave  
these sensitive components in their anti-static bags until you are  
ready to install them. Handle accessories as little as possible.  
When you must handle an accessory, handle it only by the edges  
or the mounting bracket. Avoid touching any contacts on the  
accessory connector. Before touching any components inside your  
storage system, touch a metal part of the chassis. The use of a  
grounding strap is recommended.  
How you configure the storage system depends on your system’s requirements  
and the type of SCSI channel available from the host system. For example, the  
HP NetServer LH array model has two embedded Fast SCSI-2 channels and  
includes a PCI DAC card, which provides two Fast-Wide SCSI-2 channels.  
Each channel supports a range of SCSI addresses. The addresses in each Fast  
SCSI-2 channel range from 0-7. The addresses in each Fast-Wide SCSI-2  
channel range from 0-15. In both Fast SCSI-2 and Fast-Wide SCSI-2  
configurations, address 7 is used by the controller. Therefore, each Fast SCSI-2  
channel supports up to seven SCSI devices on addresses 0-6. Each Fast-Wide  
SCSI-2 channel supports up to 15 SCSI devices on addresses 0-6 and 8-15.  
Each SCSI device on the same channel must have a unique address.  
An address of 1 on Channel 0 is different from an address of 1 on  
Channel 1.  
The SCSI device shelves support only Fast SCSI-2 devices (addresses 0-6).  
For devices installed in the SCSI device shelves, the address is set on the  
device per the manufacturer’s instructions. SCSI addresses for the hot-swap  
subsystem are set using the switches in the storage system.  
11  
 
2 Cabling Storage Devices and Setting SCSI Addresses  
The basic procedure for configuring the storage system is as follows:  
1. Determine the desired configuration.  
2. Power down the storage system and detach all power cords and external  
cables.  
3. Open the storage system door. The procedure is described in the  
“Opening the Door” section of this chapter.  
4. Set the switches that determine the SCSI addresses for the hot-swap cages  
as described in the “Setting SCSI Addresses” section of this chapter.  
5. Set the SCSI addresses for the devices on the SCSI device shelves as  
described by the manufacturer of the devices.  
6. Install the SCSI devices in the SCSI device shelves as described in the  
“Installing Hardware Accessories” chapter.  
7. Attach the cables to the devices as described in the “Cabling  
Configurations” section of this chapter.  
8. Close the door.  
9. Attach all power cords and external cables.  
10. Power-up the storage system.  
Opening the Door  
If you are installing any hardware accessories, such as SCSI mass storage  
devices, you must open the door on the side of the storage system.  
WARNING Always unplug all power cords and cables from the system before  
opening the door.  
The following procedures explain how to open the door.  
1. Turn off the system.  
2. Unplug the power cords and cables.  
3. Unlock the bezel from the chassis.  
12  
 
2 Cabling Storage Devices and Setting SCSI Addresses  
4. Remove the front bezel. Pull the top of the bezel forward, swinging it  
down to clear the retaining clips at the bottom of the chassis. Lift the  
bezel away from the chassis, as shown in Figure 2-1.  
Figure 2-1. Removing the Bezel and Opening the Door  
5. Loosen the door mounting screws using a straight-blade screwdriver.  
(The screws remain attached to the door.)  
6. Swing the door open, as shown in Figure 2-1.  
CAUTION The door is an integral part of the unit. The storage system must  
be operated with the door closed to ensure proper airflow for  
continued reliability and to maintain compliance with radio  
frequency interference (RFI) and safety standards.  
7. Lift the door off the chassis (if desired).  
Reinstalling the door is accomplished by reversing the procedure.

2 Cabling Storage Devices and Setting SCSI Addresses  
Setting SCSI Addresses  
The following is a description of the switch settings on the rear of the hot-swap  
subsystem cage (see Figure 2-1). The default switch setting is described in the  
“Cabling Configurations” section of this chapter.  
NOTE  
The numbers on the front bezel simply denote the position of the  
disk module in relation to the hot-swap subsystem. These numbers  
are not related to the SCSI addresses.  
Switches 3, 4 and 6 determine the SCSI address of the hot-swap shelf, as shown

It is important that the disk drives have a staggered power-up sequence. The  
storage system may shut down if all of the devices attempt to spin-up at the same  
time. If the staggered power-up sequence is not supported by the host system, be  
sure switch 5 is in the “ON” (default) position.

Cabling Configurations  
The storage system can be reconfigured by changing the internal cabling  
configuration or changing the switch settings on the cages. This section  
describes the external, the internal default, and some (but not all possible)  
internal cabling configurations and switch settings for both the hot-swap cages  
and the SCSI device shelves.  
External Cabling  
The storage system uses external, SCSI cables (not included) to communicate  
with the host system. Cables used with this product must be properly shielded to  
comply with regulatory requirements. The connection(s) at the back of the  
storage system are 68-pin, high-density connectors. Using the appropriate  
external SCSI cable, the storage system can be connected to the host system by  
using a variety of connectors (see Table 2-3 for the appropriate cable). The  
16  
 
2 Cabling Storage Devices and Setting SCSI Addresses  
external cables connect from the host system to the rear panel of the storage  
system cabinet.  
For instructions on connecting the external cables to the storage system, consult  
the host system user’s guide or in the case of a DAC card, the user’s guide for the  
DAC card.  
At least one external SCSI cable is required to attach each storage system to the  
host system. All connections from the storage system to the host must be direct.  
Do not connect storage systems in series, or connect to other external SCSI  
devices.  
Many of the cabling configurations need more than one external SCSI cable. If  
you need additional cables, they can be ordered from HP. The storage system is  
not shipped with external SCSI cables. Table 2-3 lists some of the external SCSI  
cables available from HP.

3 Installing Hardware Accessories  
This section describes how to physically install the SCSI mass storage devices in  
the storage system. There are two categories of mass storage devices—the  
hot-swap modules and the SCSI devices that can be installed in the SCSI device  
shelves.  
Installing Hot-Swap Storage Devices  
Only SCA-2 compliant, single-ended, Fast SCSI-2, hot-swap disk modules can be  
installed in the hot-swap subsystem.  
CAUTION Mass storage devices are susceptible to mechanical shock and can  
be damaged by a drop as small as a quarter of an inch.  
Unpacking a Hot-Swap Disk Module  
The drives have shipping plugs to ensure the hot-swap disk modules are not  
damaged while the drives are transported. Remove and save this plug before  
using the device. If you plan to reship your system, reinstall the shipping plug as  
shown in Figure 3-1.  
Figure 3-1. The Shipping Plug

3 Installing Hardware Accessories  
Installing a New Hot-Swap Disk Module  
This section describes the installation of a new hot-swap disk module.  
CAUTION Use one of the six (6) vertical shelves in the system. Do not  
attempt to install the hot-swap disk module in the SCSI device  
shelves.  
Complete the following procedure to install a new disk module:  
1. Unlock the hot-swap disk module keylock and remove the filler panel in  
the disk shelf by pulling the filler panel straight out.  
NOTE  
Do not dispose of the filler panel. If you decide to operate the  
storage system with the empty bay, it must be covered with a filler  
panel to ensure proper cooling and RFI compliance.  
2. Press the locking tab on the hot-swap disk module down and lift the lever  
up. Lifting the lever retracts the locking pin at the top of the disk drive.  
3. Holding the hot-swap disk module as shown in Figure 3-2, slide the hot-  
swap disk module slowly into the shelf until it stops.  
CAUTION When the module stops, it is not flush with the bezel; the module  
extends about one-quarter inch from the bezel. When you lock  
the module in place, the module moves to the final position, flush  
with the bezel. Forcing the module past the first stop may damage  
the module.  
4. Press the lever down until it latches.  
26  
 
3 Installing Hardware Accessories  
Figure 3-2. Installing the Hot-Swap Disk Module  
Removing a Hot-Swap Disk Module  
This section describes the process for removing a hot-swap disk module.  
CAUTION The module may be spinning and may be warm to touch.  
Complete the following procedure to remove a disk module:  
1. Verify the hot-swap disk module keylock is unlocked, and unlock the hot-  
swap disk module by pushing the locking tab down and lifting the front  
lever.  
2. Support the bottom of the module as shown in Figure 3-3. Slowly pull the  
module straight out. Do not allow the hot-swap disk module to fall.  
27

3. Wait for the drive to stop spinning, then turn the hot-swap disk module  
slowly to its horizontal storage orientation.  
4. Place the hot-swap disk module in an electrostatic protected container.  
Do not stack hot-swap disk modules.  
5. Replace the blank filler panel or install a replacement disk module.  
CAUTION The storage system must be operated with all of the empty bays  
covered by blank filler panels to ensure proper air flow for  
continued reliability, and to maintain compliance with RFI and  
safety standards.  
28  
 
3 Installing Hardware Accessories  
Installing a SCSI Device in a SCSI Device Shelf  
Almost any Fast SCSI-2 single-ended 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch device, such as a  
digital audio tape (DAT), CD-ROM or SCSI hard disk drive, can be installed in a  
SCSI device shelf. The details for configuring the device, such as jumper  
settings, are supplied by the manufacturer of the device. Internal cabling  
configurations are described in the “Cabling Configurations” section of this  
manual. This section describes the basic process of installing a SCSI device in a  
SCSI device shelf. A SCSI hard disk drive is used as an example.  
Use only the cables supplied by HP. The storage system includes an actively  
terminated SCSI cable for your SCSI tray devices. Fast SCSI-2 (up to 10  
MB/second synchronous transfer) devices require an actively terminated SCSI  
cable.  
NOTE  
To use SCSI mass storage devices, you need to obtain trays to  
install them in the storage system. Contact your HP dealer for  
obtaining these trays: 5.25-inch tray (HP D2199A), 3.5-inch tray  
(D2198A).  
For installation of a third-party, non-HP device in a SCSI device shelf, consult  
the HP BBS (408-553-3500) for recommended supplies and instructions.  
The following example demonstrates the procedure for installing a SCSI hard  
disk drive:  
1. Verify that the device is not terminated because the internal SCSI cable  
includes a built-in terminator. If you are installing a SCSI device that  
uses a built-in terminator, remove the terminator from the device before  
proceeding with the installation. The HP accessory devices available for  
your storage system are shipped with the terminators disabled.  
2. Power down the unit. (Since all the data stored on all the drives in the  
storage system is inaccessible while the system is powered down, consider  
informing all users before powering down the storage system.)  
3. Open the door of the storage system as described in the section “Opening  
the Door.”  
4. Position the first device closest to the SCSI cable terminator located at the  
end of the SCSI cable.  
5. Remove the screws that secure the filler panel to the disk shelf. (Do not  
attempt to pry the plastic cover off the storage system.)  
29  
 
3 Installing Hardware Accessories  
NOTE Do not dispose of the blank filler panel. If you decide to operate  
the storage system with an empty bay, it must be covered with a  
blank filler panel to ensure proper cooling, and compliance with  
RFI and safety standards.  
6. Mount the device in an HP tray if necessary.  
7. Configure the device per manufacturer’s instructions.  
8. Secure the drive and tray in the SCSI device shelf using the same screws  
used to attach the filler panel.  
9. Attach the SCSI cable for the appropriate configuration. Refer to the  
“Cabling Configuration” section of this manual for additional  
information.  
10. Attach the power connector to the device.  
11. Replace the door and the bezel of the storage system.  
12. Reconnect the power cords and cables.  
13. Power up the storage system, allowing the drives to spin up to speed.  
14. Configure the drive as described in your host system’s user guide.  
30  
 
4 Troubleshooting  
If you are having problems installing or configuring the storage system, there are  
a number of tools and procedures available to help you resolve the problem. If  
you need assistance from HP, the “Service and Support” chapter of this manual  
contains information on service and support.  
WARNING Whenever opening the door, disconnect the power cords to avoid  
exposure to high energy levels, which may cause burns when  
parts are short-circuited by metal objects such as tools or jewelry.  
Troubleshooting Procedures  
The following are recommended troubleshooting procedures to help you find the  
problem when your storage system does not work properly. If you need  
assistance, contact your reseller first.  
When the host system starts, the SCSI BIOS displays a banner and copyright  
notice. The BIOS checks for valid devices on the SCSI bus and reports which  
devices are found. If you have installed and configured the SCSI devices  
correctly, a list displays confirming all the SCSI devices installed in the system.  
Begin troubleshooting by isolating the problem. Simplify the configuration to the  
minimum required to function and reinstall the items (drives, modules, etc.) one  
at a time, each time checking the system for errors. The suggestions in this  
section will assist you in diagnosing the problem.  
31  
 
4 Troubleshooting  
If The System Will Not Power On  
If, after pressing the power switch, you see: the power indicator LED fails to  
light, the LED readout fails to light, the chassis fan is not working, and the  
power supply fan is not working, the storage system has not powered up. Check  
the items listed below:  
Verify the voltage switch on the power supply is in the correct position.  
Ensure all cables and power cords are firmly plugged into the proper  
receptacles.  
Verify the power source is switched on. Plug a different electrical device  
(such as a printer) into the power outlet, and turn it on.  
Press and release the reset button in case the power supply shut down.  
(The reset process takes about 15 seconds.)  
If the storage system is plugged into a switched, multiple-outlet box, make  
sure the switch on the outlet box is turned on.  
If the storage system appears to power up, but the LED readout shows  
“PF” (power fault), immediately power down the storage system. Verify  
the voltage select switch is set to the proper voltage for the area.  
Verify the cable coming out of the power supply is plugged into connector  
PS1 on the management board. (Refer to the cable management label on  
the inside of the door of the storage system.)  
Verify the control panel cable is inserted properly in connector CP1 on the  
management board.  
32  
 
4 Troubleshooting  
If the LED Readout Shows a Fan Fault (FF)  
If the system powers on, but the main chassis fan is not operating and/or “FF” is  
displayed, open the door and verify the fan cable is connected to the fan  
connector on the management board. (Refer to the cable management label on  
the inside of the door.)  
CAUTION Do not operate the storage system when the fan is not operating.  
If the LED Readout Shows a Line Fault (LF)  
If the line power is not connected properly to one of the power supplies and “LF”  
blinks alternately with HP, verify the line power is connected properly to each  
power supply device and to a power source. If the error message persists, power  
down the storage supply and replace the line power.  
If the LED Readout Shows a Power Supply Fault (PF)  
If the voltage switch is not set properly or power supply is not working properly  
and “PF” blinks alternately with HP, power down the storage supply and verify  
the line power voltage matches the voltage switch setting (for example, 115 volts  
in the U.S. and 230 volts in Europe). If the error message persists, power down  
the storage supply and replace the power supply.  
If the SCSI Devices Fail to Spin Up  
If the storage system powers up, but the SCSI devices fail to spin up (usually  
indicated by the failure of the LEDs on the devices to light), do the following:  
Remove and reinstall all hot-swap drive modules.  
Verify the power distribution cable is plugged into:  
Connector PD1 on the management board.  
Any devices in the SCSI device shelves.  
The upper and lower hot-swap cages.  
Verify the switches on the back of the hot-swap cages are set correctly.  
(Refer to manufactured configuration label to see default settings.)  
33  
 
4 Troubleshooting  
If the Host Cannot Communicate With the Storage System  
If the SCSI devices spin up, but the host cannot access the SCSI devices, do the  
following on the storage system:  
Verify all of the drive modules are inserted correctly and latched. (It may  
be necessary to remove and reinstall all hot-swap disk modules.)  
Make sure the system is configured properly, including the devices  
installed in the SCSI device shelves. (Refer to the cable management  
label in the storage system and this manual.)  
Verify the switches on the back of the hot-swap cages are set correctly.  
(Refer to Table 2-2 or the manufactured configuration label to see default  
settings.)  
Verify the switches and jumpers on the SCSI device trays are properly set.  
(Refer to the manuals that came with the devices.)  
Make sure that the active terminator is attached to the end of the SCSI  
device cable C1, and that terminators are not installed on any other  
devices. (The hot-swap cages are self-terminating.)  
Verify the SCSI device address for each device is unique.  
Make sure the SCSI devices are single-ended devices and that a  
differential SCSI device has not been added to the bus. (If a differential  
drive is used, the power indicator will not light.)  
Make sure that no SCSI device is set to SCSI address 7; address 7 is the  
SCSI ID used by the SCSI controller.  
If the SCSI devices spin up, but the host cannot access the SCSI devices, do the  
following on the host system:  
Verify the host system operates correctly without the storage system  
attached.  
Verify the external SCSI cables are firmly connected to the storage  
system.  
Verify the external SCSI cable(s) used are those recommended by HP for  
the storage system.  
Make sure all SCSI adapter cards are properly installed.  
34  
 
4 Troubleshooting  
Verify the network operating system supports the configuration.  
Verify the same SCSI channel is not used for both internal and external  
SCSI devices.  
Verify with the ECU utility that your SCSI controllers are properly  
configured.  
Make sure the NOS and the appropriate drivers are properly installed for  
your SCSI and DAC controllers. (Refer to the related NOS, NetServer,  
HBA or DAC documentation for additional information.)  
Verify the server recognizes the SCSI devices. When the server is started,  
the SCSI BIOS displays a banner and copyright notice. The BIOS then  
checks for valid devices on the SCSI bus and reports which devices are  
found. If the SCSI devices are installed and configured correctly, the  
SCSI devices installed in the system are shown in the list.  
If the Hot-Swap Disk Power LEDs are Flashing  
If one hot-swap drive is flashing yellow, it is likely that the power to the drive is  
faulty. Verify the drive was inserted properly. Also verify the power distribution  
cable is correctly installed for that drive.  
If all hot-swap drives in a cage are flashing a red light, turn off the storage  
system immediately! The drives have exceeded the operational temperature  
range and, if allowed to continue, can cause permanent damage. If all hot swap  
drives in a cage have yellow flashing lights, it is a warning that the temperature  
is approaching the maximum temperature allowed.  
If all the disk modules in a hot-swap cage are flashing red or yellow, check the  
following items:  
Verify the chassis fan and power supply fan are operating.  
Verify all of the blank filler panels cover any empty shelves.  
Make sure the chassis door is closed. (The door must be closed for the  
cooling system to function properly.)  
Verify the air vents are not blocked. (The storage system cooling outlets  
should be at least six inches from any obstructions.)  
Verify the ambient temperature does not exceed the levels noted in the  
“Specifications” appendix.  
35  
 
4 Troubleshooting  
Run the hot-swap temperature self test by powering up the storage system.  
The hot-swap assembly should briefly flash red. If it fails to flash, the  
storage system may require service.  
Error Messages  
The front panel of the storage system includes two-digit, seven-segment LEDs.  
When operations are normal, the display will show “HP” or the unit  
identification number. The LEDs are powered by the internal power supply, and  
when the power supply is not working there will be no display.  
If the chassis fan in the unit becomes stalled, the display will show “FF” (fan  
fault). (Do not continue to operate the storage system without the fan operating.)  
If the storage system appears to power up, but the LED readout shows a “PF”  
(power fault), the voltage select switch may be in the wrong position.  
Immediately power down the storage system. Verify the voltage select switch is  
set to the proper voltage for the area (for example, 115 volts in the U.S. and 230  
volts in Europe).

The HP Support Assistant is a traditional CD-ROM that includes technical and  
product information documents on HP Vectra Personal Computers, HP  
networking Products, HP LaserJet printers, and accessory products—in addition  
to the HP NetServer information that underlies the HP NetServer Information  
Assistant.  
For subscription information on the HP Support Assistant, obtain ordering  
instructions from the library of the HPSYS forum on CompuServe, via HP’s  
World Wide Web home page, or from HP’s automated fax system. Each of these  
services is described elsewhere in this chapter.  
CompuServe Discussion Forum and Library  
CompuServe, the worldwide electronic information utility, provides support,  
technical data, and updated software drivers for the products of some 900  
hardware and software manufacturers, including Hewlett-Packard.  
With a CompuServe account you post your question publicly in a managed,  
focused forum dedicated to one manufacturer or topic. People who regularly visit  
that forum read your question and reply within a day or two. If the topic is  
complex or controversial, an electronic discussion starts among several people—  
providing you with a group consensus.  
HP products are covered on CompuServe in forums operated by independent  
consultants. The NetServer section of the HPSYS forum is visited regularly by  
HP employees and a group of knowledgeable and friendly NetServer users.  
Libraries are maintained of newsletters, technical articles, drivers, and other  
software modules. Enter “GO HPSYS” to reach the HP Systems Forum.  
There are CompuServe forums covering most hardware and software  
manufacturers. In addition to the HPSYS forum, some other forums of interest  
to HP NetServer owners include those for: Banyan®, IBM® OS/2, Intel,  
HP Peripherals, Lotus®, Microsoft Windows NT®, Novell®, Oracle®, SCO,  
and Sybase®.

HP NetServer Support News  
HP NetServer Support News is an electronic newsletter dedicated to bringing you  
late-breaking product and support information on HP NetServer products.  
This newsletter is published once a month and it contains the latest news since  
the last edition of the HP Support Assistant CD-ROM (described earlier in this  
chapter). The information in the newsletters is added to the next edition of the  
HP Support Assistant CD-ROM.  
HP NetServer Support News can be obtained in several ways:  
From the library of the HPSYS forum on CompuServe  
Via HP’s World Wide Web home pages  
Via Internet FTP  
From HP’s Bulletin Board System  
Each of these electronic sources is described in this chapter.  
The most convenient way to keep up to date is to visit the HPSYS forum on  
CompuServe regularly. Issues of HP NetServer Support News are posted in the  
forum as they come out—part of the ongoing seminar on HP NetServer systems.  
Telephone Support  
The HP-supplied hardware and software in HP servers are covered by no-charge  
telephone assistance during the warranty period. As described below, in some  
geographic areas this telephone support is provided by Hewlett-Packard; in other  
areas telephone support is provided by your reseller.  
Telephone support is generally available from the manufacturers and resellers of  
the various non-HP hardware and software components.

5 Service and Support  
Hewlett-Packard provides telephone assistance in installing, configuring, and  
diagnosing the server such that one local client PC is able to log into an HP-  
supported network operating system.  
Assistance with additional functions, such as system design, operating system  
upgrades, or performance optimization—and assistance with other technical  
areas, such as cabling, non-HP hardware, or multiple operating system  
environments—is available from Hewlett-Packard, resellers, or consultants at  
additional charge.  
For example, HP offers Network Phone-In Support Service, with a 7-day/24-hour  
option for network operating systems and multi-vendor hardware. Contact your  
local HP office for details.  
For non-HP products, support numbers are included in the product  
documentation or are available from your reseller.

6 Warranty and Software License  
This chapter contains the following warranties:  
NetServer Storage System/6 On-Site Limited Warranty  
HP Software Product License Agreement and Limited Warranty  
NetServer Storage System/6 On-Site Limited  
Warranty  
Three Year On-Site Limited Hardware Warranty  
Hewlett-Packard (HP) warrants this hardware product against defects in  
materials and workmanship for a period of three years from receipt by the  
original end-user purchaser.  
If HP receives notice of such defects during the warranty period, HP will either,  
at its option, repair or replace products that prove to be defective. Some newly  
manufactured products may contain remanufactured parts equivalent to new in  
performance. Service parts are new or equivalent to new.  
Should HP be unable to repair or replace the product within a reasonable amount  
of time, the customer’s alternate exclusive remedy shall be a refund of the  
purchase price upon return of the product.  
Limitation of Warranty  
The above warranty shall not apply to defects resulting from misuse (including  
incorrect input voltage); unauthorized modification; operation or storage outside  
the environmental specifications for the product; in-transit damage; improper  
maintenance; or defects resulting from use of non-HP software, accessories,  
media, supplies, consumables or such items not designed for use with the  
product.  
51  
 
6 Warranty and Software License  
HP makes no other express warranty, whether written or oral, with respect  
to this product. Any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness is  
limited to the one year duration of this written warranty. Some states or  
provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so  
the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other  
rights that vary from state to state, or province to province.  
Limitation of Liability and Remedies  
The remedies provided above are the customer’s sole and exclusive remedies.  
In no event shall HP be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or  
consequential damages, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any  
other legal theory.  
The foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply in the event that any HP  
product sold hereunder is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to  
be defective and to have directly caused bodily injury, death, or property  
damage; provided, that in no event shall HP’s liability for property damage  
exceed the greater of $50,000 or the purchase price of the specific product  
that caused such damage.  
Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental  
or consequential damages—including lost profit—so the above limitation or  
exclusion may not apply to you.

Warranty start date. The customer must be prepared to supply proof of the  
purchase date.  
Equipment location. The on-site warranty is limited to products that remain in  
the country of original end-user purchase from HP or an Authorized HP Personal  
Computer Reseller.  
Outside the country of original purchase, on-site warranty service is available  
only by prior arrangement—either through purchase of the product at HP's  
International Price, with the destination specified at time of order, or through  
purchase of a service contract from the HP Subsidiary or Distributor in the  
destination country. Otherwise, the product must be returned by the customer to  
the country of original purchase for service.  
Parts covered. The system processor unit and Hewlett-Packard accessories  
inside the system—such as mass storage devices sold as complete HP system  
accessory kits—are covered by this warranty.  
Customer-replaceable parts—such as HP SCSI disk drives— may be serviced  
through expedited part shipment. In this event, HP will prepay shipping charges,  
duty, and taxes; provide telephone assistance on replacement of the component;  
and pay shipping charges, duty, and taxes for any part that HP asks to be  
returned.  
HP mass storage devices—such as hard drives and DAT drives—sold as  
component mechanisms are not covered by this on-site warranty. They are  
covered under a component replacement warranty provided by the distributor.  
HP/Colorado Memory Systems internal tape drives are not covered by this on-site  
warranty—they are covered under a replacement warranty included with the  
product.  
HP products external to the system processor unit—such as external storage  
subsystems, printers, and other peripherals—are covered by the applicable  
53  
 
6 Warranty and Software License  
warranties for those products; HP software is covered by the HP Software Product  
Limited Warranty.  
Non-HP products. On-site visits caused by non-Hewlett-Packard products—  
whether internal to the system processor unit (such as non-HP SIMMs) or  
external to the system processor unit (such as LAN cabling)—are subject to  
standard per-incident travel and labor charges.  
Travel restrictions and response time. On-site service for this product is  
restricted or unavailable in certain locations. In HP Excluded Travel Areas—  
areas where geographical obstacles, undeveloped roads, or unsuitable public  
transportation prohibit routine travel—service is provided on a negotiated basis  
at extra charge.  
Response time for HP on-site service in an HP Service Travel Area is normally  
next business day (excluding HP holidays) for HP Travel Zones 1, 2, and 3  
(generally 100 miles or 160 km from the HP office). Response time is second  
business day for Zones 4 and 5 (200 miles, 320 km); third business day for Zone  
6 (300 miles, 480 km); and negotiated beyond Zone 6. The HP Worldwide  
Customer Support Travel Guide is available from any HP Sales Office.  
Travel restrictions and response time for reseller service are defined by the  
participating reseller.  
Service contracts that provide after-hours or weekend coverage, faster response  
time, or service in an HP Excluded Travel Area are generally available from HP  
or an authorized reseller at additional charge.  
Customer Responsibilities  
The customer may be required to run HP-supplied configuration and diagnostic  
programs before an on-site visit is made or a replacement part will be sent.  
The customer is responsible for the security of its proprietary and confidential  
information and for maintaining a procedure external to the products for  
reconstruction of lost or altered files, data, or programs.  
For on-site service, the customer must provide the following: access to the  
product; adequate working space and facilities within a reasonable distance of the  
product; access to and use of all information and facilities determined necessary  
by HP to service the product; and operating supplies and consumables such as the  
customer would use during normal operation.  
54  
 
6 Warranty and Software License  
When service is being performed on-site, an adult representative of the customer  
must be present at all times. The customer must state if the product is being used  
in an environment that poses a potential health hazard to repair personnel. HP or  
the servicing reseller may require that the product be maintained by customer  
personnel under direct HP or reseller supervision.  
Obtaining Return Warranty Service  
If on-site warranty service is not applicable, the product must be returned to a  
service facility designated by HP. The customer must enclose a copy of a  
document proving date of purchase.  
The customer shall prepay shipping charges (and shall pay all duty and taxes) for  
products returned to HP for warranty service. HP shall pay for return of products  
to the customer except for products returned to the customer from another  
country.  
Software Product Limited Warranty  
Ninety-Day Limited Software Warranty  
HP warrants for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of the purchase that  
the software product will execute its programming instructions when all files are  
properly installed. HP does not warrant that the operation of the software will be  
uninterrupted or error free. In the event that this software product fails to  
execute its programming instructions during the warranty period, Customer’s  
remedy shall be a refund or repair. Should HP be unable to replace the media  
within a reasonable amount of time, Customer’s alternate remedy shall be a  
refund of the purchase price upon return of the product and all copies.  
Removable Media (if supplied)  
HP warrants the removable media, if supplied, upon which this product is  
recorded to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use  
for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of purchase. In the event the media  
prove to be defective during the warranty period, Customer’s remedy shall be to  
return the media to HP for replacement. Should HP be unable to replace the  
media within a reasonable amount of time, Customer’s alternate remedy shall be  
a refund of the purchase price upon return of the product and destruction of all  
other non-removable media copies of the software product.  
55  
 
6 Warranty and Software License  
Notice of Warranty Claims  
Customer must notify HP in writing of any warranty claim not later than thirty  
(30) days after the expiration of the warranty period.  
Limitation of Warranty  
HP makes no other express warranty, whether written or oral, with respect to this  
product. Any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular  
purpose is limited to the 90-day duration of this written warranty. Some states or  
provinces do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the  
above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.  
This warranty gives specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that  
vary from state to state, or province to province.  
Limitation of Liability and Remedies  
The remedies provided above are the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies. In  
no event shall HP be liable for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or  
consequential damages (including lost profit) whether based on warranty,  
contract, tort, or any other legal theory. Some states or provinces do not allow  
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above  
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.  
Obtaining Warranty Service  
You may obtain Warranty service from your Authorized HP Reseller or HP Sales  
and Service Office.  
Consumer transactions in Australia and the United Kingdom: The disclaimers  
and limitations above shall not apply and shall not affect the statutory rights of
