Connecting VA 7400 Series Arrays
See "Solution Integration and Product Configuration Overview" on page 3 for detailed cabling
diagrams.
To connect a single VA 7400 series array (see "Sample Connection Diagram - Single Array
Configuration" on page 31):
1. Connect the array to node 1:
— Verify that a Transceiver is installed on the FC Port 1 connector on the array, then plug
one end of a fiber optic cable into the Transceiver.
— Plug the other end of the fiber optic cable into the mating optical connector on the Fibre
Channel HBA card in the NAS server designated as node 1.
2. Connect the array to node 2:
— Verify that a Transceiver is installed on the FC Port 2 connector on the array, then plug
one end of a fiber optic cable into the Transceiver.
— Plug the other end of the fiber optic cable into the mating optical connector on the Fibre
Channel HBA card in the NAS server designated as node 2.
To connect one or two VA 7400 series arrays with a FC switch (see "Sample Connection
Diagram - Dual Array Configuration" on page 32):
1. Connect the NAS servers to the FC switch:
— Each NAS server has two FC HBAs. On each NAS server, plug a fiber optic cable into
the optical connectors on each FC HBA.
— Plug the other end of each cable from NAS server 1 into the optical connectors on FC
switch 1.
— Plug the other end of each cable from NAS server 2 into the optical connectors on FC
switch 2.
2. Connect the arrays to the FC switch:
— Verify that a Transceiver is installed on each FC Port connector on the array, then plug a
fiber optic cable into each Transceiver.
— Plug one cable from array 1 into an optical connector on FC switch 1 and plug the
second cable into a connector of FC switch 2.
— Plug one cable from array 2 into an optical connector on FC switch 1 and plug the
second cable into a connector of FC switch 2.
