Setup
CAUTION:
Printed circuit board components are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. To prevent operating failure or damage, observe the
following: Establish a ground for yourself by using the wrist
grounding strap, or by touching the metal chassis prior to handling or
installing any printed circuit boards.
During the installation, references will be made to component locations. These
references are made with regards to the CR8e subsystem when it is viewed from
the rear panel. Common terms such as upper or lower refer to the tower based
configurations, while right or left refer to the rack mount configurations.
Before beginning the installation you will need to consider the following:
RAID Level – determine which RAID level will be used (0, 1, 3, 5, 0+1,
10, 30, or 50).
Cabling Configuration – Each configuration type will have different cabling
requirements. Determine the number of subsystems that will be used per
host adapter and refer to the diagrams for the supported configuration.
When mixing configurations you will need to consider that there may be
some physical server CPU limitations that apply, such as available
expansion card slots, as well as, cabling length limitations. (Refer to the
Cabling Configuration section.)
When multiple subsystems are being used, identify which CR8e subsystem
will be the "master" subsystem and which will be the "slave" subsystem(s).
This section will describe the procedures to install the controller and I/O cards.
1
Power off your computer system or workstation.

Refer to the "Setup" and "Component Installation" sections in the CR8e
User's Guide and follow the procedures for setting up the subsystem (i.e.,
installing configuration modules, disk drives, and power supplies).
For the slave subsystems that are scheduled to be configured as a single-bus
subsystem, refer to "Cabling Configuration" section in the CR8e User's Guide
and follow the procedures to remove the Dual-bus module and install the
Single-bus module.
