    (see section “DIP Switches Settings for Different Connections” on page 6). Ê If needed, refer to the Operating Manual for the PRIMERGY S60 [6] and install the FFx-RAID controller in the storage subsystem. If this is a single controller installation, the FFx-RAID controller must be installed in slot 0 (as DAC 0, see figure 1 on page 4).

    Configurations The FFx-RAID controllers use RAID technology to provide protection against drive failures. The FFx-RAID controllers also support configurations that employ multiple hosts and redundant controllers for improved fault-tolerance and high- performance data through-put. This chapter provides examples of non- clustering and cluster server single and dual-active controller configurations in host cabling topologies.
