Subsystem Cable Connections - Infortrend EonStor A16F Quick Installation Manual

Subsystem Cable Connections

Note:
Once all the hardware components have
been installed, the following items must
be connected to externally.
Power Cable:
Two power cables, that are supplied with
the EonStor subsystem, must be plugged
into the PSU sockets at the rear of the
EonStor subsystem, and connected
directly to the mains. The PSU socket can
be seen in Figure 14.
Host Ports:
The FC-to-SATA controller modules come
with two SFP connectors at the rear of the
controller module for host connectivity
and can be seen in Figure 16 and Figure
17. (Details on FC cables and SFP
connectors can be found in Hardware
Manual). The SCSI-to-SATA subsystem
comes with two VHDCI host connectors
(see Figure 15) at the rear of the
controller module that must also be
connected to an external host computer.
RS-232C Audio Jack:
Each controller module comes with two
RS-232C Audio Jack serial ports. One
port is reserved for terminal emulation
management the other port is used for
UPS support. Two audio jack to DB9
cables are provided to facilitate the
connection of these serial ports.
RJ-45 Ethernet Port:
The RS-232C Audio Jack serial ports can
be used to assign a permanent IP to the
EonStor subsystem. After a permanent IP
address has been assigned, shielded
Ethernet cables must be used to connect
the RJ-45 Ethernet port to a hub on a
network. This enables users to manage
their subsystem via the web.
