To connect cables:
1. Connect the RAID SCSI cable Channel 0 on the primary or secondary MegaRAID
controller. Connect the other end of the cable to the Channel 0 connector on the
InterRAID-8e cabinet. Repeat for Channel 1.
2. Secure the cables using the thumb screws (finger tight only). Failure to secure the
cables properly can result in intermittent problems with the cabinet or the MegaRAID
controller.
The following figure shows connecting cables to Channel 0 and 1 of a controller.
NOTE Ensure that the 2 meter cables connect to the right side of the InterRAID cabinet. The
InterRAID-8e cabinet contains special extender circuitry that supports longer (2 meter) cable
lengths connected only on the right side of the cabinet. Do not connect 2 meter cables to the
left side of the cabinet.
