Iscsi Cabling; Power Cabling - IBM TotalStorage DS300 Hardware Installation And User's Manual

iSCSI cabling

The DS300 storage subsystem supports standard Category 5, 5e, and 6 Ethernet
cables. Insert an Ethernet cable into either of the RJ-45 connectors (labeled "Eth2"
or "Eth3") on the rear of the RAID controller. Connect the other end of the Ethernet
cable to your Ethernet network switch. This connection provides access to the
controller.

Power cabling

The storage subsystem uses either one or two standard power cords, depending on
whether there are one or two power-supply-with-fan units. You can connect the
power cords to a primary power unit inside the rack, such as a properly grounded
ac power distribution unit, or to an external source, such as a properly grounded
electrical outlet.
Complete the following steps to connect the power cords, if you have not already
done so:
1. Connect the power cord to the power supply.
2. Untwist the power cord strain-relief plastic tie (located below and to the right of
3. Wrap the strain-relief tie around the power cord approximately 10 cm (4 in.)
4. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded electrical outlet.
5. Go to "Turning the storage subsystem on and off" on page 36 for the initial
