This chapter provides fibre channel and power cabling information for the storage
subsystem in the following sections:
v "Setting server/tray ID settings"
v "Working with SFPs and fiber-optic cables" on page 30
v "Connecting storage expansion enclosures to the DS4300" on page 45
v "Configuring the drive loops with storage expansion enclosures" on page 61
v "Host fibre channel connections" on page 74
v "Connecting hosts to the RAID controllers" on page 80
v "Configuring the storage subsystem" on page 82
v "Connecting secondary interface cables" on page 84
v "Power cabling" on page 85
v "Installing the storage-management software" on page 86
After you attach the storage subsystem power cables, use the instructions that are
provided in "Turning the storage subsystem on and off" on page 92 for the initial
startup of the storage subsystem.
The DS4300 storage subsystem comes with a server ID switch that is used to
identify the DS4300 on a fibre channel loop. The server ID switch is located on the
back of the unit, as shown in Figure 16 on page 30.
Note: The Server ID switch is sometimes referred to as an Enclosure ID switch.
