Warning

The Bridgeworks Appliance contains no user serviceable components. Only an Authorised Service

Centre should carry out any servicing or repairs. Unauthorised repairs or modifications will
immediately void your warranty.

Before you start

There are a number of additional pieces of equipment you will require for the successful installation

of your Appliance depending on the feature cards installed:

Ethernet Cable

You will require at least one good quality cable of suitable length to go between your network access

point and the Appliance. This should be marked as certified to Cat 5e and have an RJ45 style
connector at the Appliance end.

40Gb QSFP Cable

To connect the Appliance to your network for iSCSI transfer, you will require a copper QSFP cable.

12Gb SAS Cable

The Appliance uses a Mini-SAS HD style connector, also known as an SFF-8644 connector, with 4

phys per wide port. You will require a SAS cable that supports this connector at the Appliance end
and the type of connector your peripheral device supports at the other end.

Fibre Channel Cable

You will require at least one Multi-mode Optical Fibre 50/125 OM3/OM4 Patch Cable (LC) of suitable

length to go between your Appliance and device, host, or Fibre Channel switch.

If you are in any doubt, please contact your reseller for assistance.
