If you are setting up a redundant Memory Channel configuration, install the
second Memory Channel adapter right after installing the first Memory
Channel adapter. Ensure that the jumpers are correct and are the same
on both modules.
After you install the Memory Channel adapter(s), replace the system panels
unless you have more hardware to install.
5.3 Installing the MC2 Optical Converter in the Member
System
If you are going to use a CCMFB optical converter along with the MC2
PCI adapter, install it at the same time that you install the MC2 CCMAB.
To install a MC2 CCMFB optical converter in the member system, follow
these steps. See Section 5.5.2.4 if you are installing an optical converter
in an MC2 hub.
1. Remove the bulkhead blanking plate for the desired PCI slot.
2. Thread one end of the fiber optics cable (BN34R) through the PCI
bulkhead slot.
3. Thread the optics cable through the slot in the optical converter module
(CCMFB) endplate (at the top of the endplate).
4. Remove the cable tip protectors and attach the keyed plug to the
connector on the optical converter module. Tie-wrap the cable to the
module.
5. Seat the optical converter module firmly into the PCI backplane and
secure the module with the PCI card cage mounting screw.
6. Attach the 1-meter BN39B-01 cable from the CCMAB Memory Channel
2 PCI adapter to the CCMFB optical converter.
7. Route the fiber optics cable to the remote system or hub.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 for the optical converter on the second system.
See Section 5.5.2.4 if you are installing an optical converter in an MC2
hub.
5.4 Installing the Memory Channel Hub
You may use a hub in a two-node TruCluster Server cluster, but the hub is
not required. When there are more than two systems in a cluster, you must
use a Memory Channel hub as follows:
• For use with the MC1 or MC1.5 CCMAA adapter, you must install the
hub within 10 meters of each of the systems.
