Configurations
This section shows how to connect the RAID enclosures to a host
system(s). The procedure for daisy chaining the enclosures together is
also described.
Single RAID Controller Configuration
In this configuration only one RAID controller is installed in the
enclosure's I/O slot. The second I/O slot must contain an I/O module or a
blank plate.
Caution: For all RAID configurations, there must be two LS
modules installed in the enclosure.
Note: The following configuration procedures refer to connecting
the Altos S700 Series directly to the host system. It is also possible
to connect the system using a Hub/Switch.
Caution: Before working on the enclosure, ensure that anti-static
precautions have been taken. The minimum requirement is an
anti-static wrist strap and grounding wire.
To connect this configuration to a host system, follow this procedure:
Connecting a Single RAID Controller to a Host
1
Plug both host cables into the host connectors on the RAID
controller (see Figure 4-5).
Note: For single HBA configurations only one host connector will
need to be used.
2
Connect the opposite ends of these host cables, to the HBA's of the
host system.
Note: For details on your host and/or HBA refer to the
documentation that was supplied with the host / HBA.
