Note
RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco Systems. These cables are widely available and must be
Category 5 cables.

Connecting CE Network Modules with SCSI Controller Expansion Modules to
an External Cisco Storage Array
Timesaver
Connecting the external Cisco storage array requires you to reboot the network module or router. To save
time, connect the external Cisco storage array to the CE network module before powering on the router
or network module.
To connect a CE network module with a SCSI controller expansion module to an external storage array,
use a 68-pin, low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI cable. Connect the cable to the SCSI port on the
network module to the SCSI port on the external Cisco storage array. (See
Figure 19-4
.)
Cisco Storage Array 6 is supported on the CE network module with SCSI controller expansion module.
(See the
Cisco Storage Array 6 Installation and Configuration Guide
.)
Tip
Use either a 36- or 108-inch LVD SCSI cable, depending on the length required between the router and
the external storage array.
