10GbE iSCSI host connection

To connect 694xx controller modules supporting 10GbE iSCSI host interface ports to a server HBA or

switch—using the controller's CNC ports—select a qualified 10GbE SFP option.

Qualified options support cable lengths of 0.5 m (1.64'), 1 m (3.28'), 3 m (9.84'), 5 m (16.40'), and 7 m (22.97') for

copper cables; and cable lengths of 0.65 m (2.13'), 1 m (3.28'), 1.2 m (3.94'), 3 m (9.84'), 5 m (16.40'), and 7 m

(22.97') for direct attach copper (DAC) cables. In addition to providing host connection, these cables are used for

connecting a local storage system to a remote storage system via a switch, to facilitate use of the optional

AssuredRemote replication feature.

To connect 694xx controller modules supporting 1Gb iSCSI host interface ports to a server HBA or switch—using

the controller's CNC ports—select a qualified 1 Gb RJ-45 copper SFP option supporting (CAT5-E minimum)

Ethernet cables of the same lengths specified for 10GbE iSCSI above. In addition to providing host connection,

these cables are used for connecting a local storage system to a remote storage system via a switch, to facilitate use

of the optional AssuredRemote replication feature.

To connect 694x4 controller modules supporting SAS host interface ports to a server HBA or switch —using the

controller's SFF-8644 dual HD mini-SAS host ports—select a qualified HD mini-SAS cable option. A qualified

SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 cable option is used for connecting to a 12 Gbit/s enabled host; whereas a qualified

SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 cable option is used for connecting to a 6 Gbit/s host. Qualified SFF-8644 to SFF-8644

options support cable lengths of 0.5 m (1.64'), 1 m (3.28'), 2 m (6.56'), and 4 m (13.12'). Qualified SFF-8644 to

SFF-8088 options support cable lengths of 1 m (3.28'), 2 m (6.56'), 3 m (9.84'), and 4 m (13.12').

NOTE: Supported qualified cable options for host connection are subject to change.

NOTE: The diagrams that follow use a single representation for each CNC cabling example. This is due to the

fact that the CNC port locations and labeling are identical for each of the three possible interchangeable SFPs

supported by the system.

Within each cabling connection category, the HD mini-SAS model is shown beneath the CNC model.
