Jbod Configurations; Dual Fc Loop Configuration - Acer Altos S700 Series User Manual

JBOD Configurations

There are two JBOD configurations covered in this Installation Guide:
• Dual FC Loop mode (including how to daisy chain enclosures)
• Quad Loop (single enclosure with 4 FCAL loops)
Note: The following examples show the Copper/Copper I/O
Module option for illustration purposes. The configuration
procedures are identical for all I/O Module options.

Dual FC Loop Configuration

Note: For dual FC Loop enclosures there must be two LS modules
installed in the enclosure.
This section describes the procedure for connecting a dual FC Loop
configuration to your host computer, and how to daisy chain these
enclosures together.
To connect the dual FC Loop enclosure to the host:
Note: You will need two HBA's in your host system, or a single
HBA with support for two connections. A hub, switch or two hosts
with HBA may also be used.
1 Insert the connector on the first cable, into the top connector on
the first I/O module (see Figure 3-2).
2 Insert the other end of this cable into the connector on your HBA.
3 Insert the connector on the second cable, into the top connector
on the second I/O module (see Figure 3-2).
4 Insert the other end of this cable into the connector on your HBA.
Note: For details on your host and/or HBA refer to the
documentation that was supplied with the host / HBA.
