Connecting to the iSCSI Data Ports

The following sections describe how to connect the DSN-3000 series data ports. If you have
the DSN-3200 storage system, follow the instructions in section 3.4.1. If you have the DSN-
3400 storage system, follow the instructions in section 3.4.2.
3.4.1

Connecting to the DSN-3200 Host Network Connection Ports

The DSN-3200 storage system has eight RJ-45 data ports. These ports connect to your SAN
using either a straight-through or cross-over RJ-45 Ethernet cable (the DSN-3200 storage
system auto-senses the type of cable used). One cable is needed for each RJ-45 data port.
1. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to host network connection port 0 on the DSN-3200
storage system back panel (see Figure 2-4). Connect the other end of the cable to your
SAN or host system.
2. To connect additional host network connection ports to your SAN, repeat step 1 using
another Ethernet cable and the next available DSN-3200 storage system port in sequence
(port 1, then port 2, and so on). Do not skip ports when making these connections.
3.4.2

Connecting to the DSN-3400 Host Network Connection Port

The DSN-3400 storage system has a single 10 GE host network XFP optical transceiver
interface. This port connects to your SAN using a single mode or multimode XFP optical
cable.
1. Connect one end of a single mode or multimode XFP optical cable to the DSN-3400
storage system optical host network connection port. Facing the back of the DSN-3400,
this port appears on the left side (see Figure 2-6).
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your SAN.
