Setting the Enclosure ID

Each of the fourteen disk drive slots of the Altos S700 Series has a
unique identifier assigned to it. This identifier is assigned using a
combination of the slot number and the enclosure ID.

The enclosure ID is set using the enclosure ID switch, located on the
rear of the Altos S700 (see Figure 3-1).

Note

: The enclosure ID must be set prior to powering on the

enclosure.

Note

: Each enclosure must have a separate ID when daisy chained

together.

Note

: 2Gb Amphenol cables must be used if 2Gb operation is

required.

Note

: Contact your sales person for a list of approved HBA’s.
