PowerVault (Dell MD1400 - 16TB) Setup Guide
Connect a PowerVault to a Hybrid
Note:
The PowerVault comes with two SAS cables. You only need one cable to connect the
PowerVault to the physical host. NetWitness Series 5 physical hosts require different cables.
For NetWitness Series 6 physical hosts, use a cable with the mini-SAS connector.
To connect a PowerVault to a Series 6 Hybrid:
Follow the instructions In the
Connect PowerVaults to a Concentrator, Archiver, Decoder, or Log
procedure above and connect the NetWitness Series Series 6 Hybrid
physical host to only one PowerVault.
To connect a PowerVault to a Hybrid physical host:
1. Ensure that the physical host is powered off.
2. Connect one end of the mini-to-mini SAS cable to the Port 0 of the RAID controller on the
back of the Series 5 Hybrid physical host.
3. Connect the other end of the mini-to-mini SAS cable to the PowerVault unit (Port 1 in the
following example).
When you connect the first PowerVault to the RAID controller, make sure that you insert the
cable into the
Primary SAS port
on the PowerVault as shown in the following figure.
