C H A P T E R Installation Considerations Minimum Hardware The Sun StorEdge MultiPack storage enclosure runs at Fast or UltraSCSI (Fast20) speeds with a small computer system interface (SCSI) host connection. The UltraSCSI label on the front and on the removable door of the MultiPack indicates UltraSCSI capability.
Placement The Sun StorEdge MultiPack enclosure weighs up to 30 lbs (13.6 kg) when loaded with disk drives. Choose a location that is relatively permanent. Keep cable lengths in mind. For UltraSCSI operation, the cable you connect to the UltraSCSI capable on-board host port of your computer must be no longer than .8 meters.
Daisy Chaining SCSI Devices More than one six-drive Sun StorEdge MultiPack enclosure can be connected to a single wide SCSI bus, provided enough target addresses remain for use. If two six- disk enclosures are chained on one wide SCSI bus, one must be set for the 9-14 addresses and the other for the 1-6 addresses.
If your computer has a narrow (50 pin) SCSI connector, you must set the SCSI ID switch on the back of the Sun StorEdge MultiPack unit to IDs 1–6. If the unit is loaded with six drives, you cannot chain any other devices on that bus. If a narrow SCSI tape drive, such as a Desktop Storage Module, is chained on the same narrow SCSI bus with a Sun StorEdge MultiPack enclosure, the narrow device should be first.
Sun StorEdge MultiPack Disks All Sun StorEdge MultiPack disks are single connector disks; they eliminate interior cables and disk drive ID jumpers, and so reduce the SCSI bus length. In addition, disk replacement is simple. See Chapter 3, “Parts Replacement,” for instructions on how to replace a drive.

C H A P T E R Sun StorEdge MultiPack LEDs Status LEDs The Sun StorEdge MultiPack enclosure has a power-on LED, termination indicator LEDs, and two sets of disk drive LEDs.

Disk Drive Replacement The Sun StorEdge MultiPack disk drive unit is a customer serviceable disk enclosure with removable disk modules. When coupled with high-availability software solutions (such as Solstice™ DiskSuite™), the disk drives are hot-pluggable. The Sun StorEdge MultiPack Storage Guide contains instructions for hot-plug replacement of disks.
