following Error message:
The total number of enclosures connected to connector 00, has

PERC profile settings. From factory, PERC profile is set to PD64. Setting the profile to PD240
corrects the issue. Profile PD240 is labeled as "default", however, this is not set from factory.
To set the PD Profile:
1. Enter the DELL PERC 10 Configuration Utility. See Navigating to Dell PERC 10
configuration utility.
2. Click Main Menu > Controller Management > Advanced Controller Properties > Profile
Management. Current profile and profile properties are displayed.
3. Change profile using the Choose Profile option.
4. Select Set Profile. Click Reboot.
2.) The PowerVault comes with four SAS cables. You only need one cable to connect the
PowerVault to the physical host. For RSA Series 5 physical hosts, use a cable with the mini-
SAS connector.
1. Ensure that the physical host is powered off.
2. Connect one end of the SAS cable to the left port of the RAID controller on the back of the
Concentrator, Archiver, Decoder, or Log Decoder physical host.
3. Connect the other end of the SAS cable to the PowerVault unit.
When you connect the first PowerVault to the RAID controller, make sure that you insert the
cable into the Primary SAS port on the PowerVault as shown in the following figures.
Series 5 Physical Hosts
Series 5 - R630
The following figure shows an R630 host (port 0 ) connected to a PowerVault (port 1 in top
row of ports) using a mini-to-mini SAS cable.
The PERC830 card for the R630 is installed in slot #3. This means that:
Port 0 is on the left and port 1 is on the right on the R630.
l
You must attach the cable to the R630 with the connector's blue tab on the top.
l
You must attach the other end the cable to the PowerVault with the connector's blue tab
l
on the top.
You know if the cable is properly connected when you hear a click as the cable locks into
l
place and see the green port light illuminate on the R630.
