Optical cables can be used over long distances, have been shown to be more reliable, and are less susceptible to EMI.

  • Page 59: Sfp Transceivers

    NOTE: SFP modules must be purchased separately. A variety of FC cables and transceivers can be used. Please purchase the correct SFP modules from your Galaxy RAID subsystem vendor/distributor and contact them for the latest list of certified modules. 4.1.4 Fibre Channel Topologies The Fibre Channel Standard has been designed to support three (3) separate topologies.

  • Page 60: Points Of Failure

    Chapter 4: Subsystem Connection and Operation 4.1.5 Points of Failure The primary concern for configuring host-side topologies is that points of failure are avoided. It is therefore recommended that the host side be connected to at least two (2) HBAs. By-pass circuitry should be provided outside the subsystem; therefore, it is also preferable to connect the FC RAID subsystems to the host computer(s) through either a FC-2G hub or a Fibre switch.

  • Page 61: Sample Topology - Direct-Attached

    Galaxy A16F-G2221 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual NOTE: To create dual-redundant data paths on the host side, it is necessary for third-party failover software to be installed on the host computer. 4.1.7 Sample Topology – Direct-Attached In the configuration shown in Figure 4 - 2, one (1) A16F-G2221 subsystem is connected to a single host computer.

    Galaxy A16F-G2221 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual A.4. Connecting the UPS to the Subsystem A.4.1 Connect the PSU Module Power Cords The two (2) power cables shipped with the subsystem must be plugged into the power cord sockets in the rear of the PSU modules. The plug at the other end of the power cable must be inserted into a socket on the UPS.

    Appendix A:Uninterruptible Power Supply A.5. Power On When powering on the subsystem, the UPS must be powered on before the subsystem. To see how to power on the UPS, please refer to the documentation that came with your UPS. Note that the power on sequence described in Chapter 4 will be altered. The power on sequence when a UPS is connected is shown below: Step 1.
