Chapter 4
Connecting Cables
This chapter explains how to connect various cables to the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system.
Do
•
Make sure to wear a wrist strap or discharge static electricity by touching a metal
object before starting each operation, as failure to discharge static electricity may
cause device failure.
4.1
Host Interface Cable Connection
Connect the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to the connection destination using host interface cables. The
connection procedure varies depending on the type of host interface that is used for the ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system.
Prepare the same number of host interface cables as the number of host interface ports.
This section uses an iSCSI 1Gbit/s host interface (CA) as an example to show the connection procedure.
•
To help with host interface cable management and prevent incorrect connections, attach labels to the
cables that show which end is for the connection origin and which end is for the connection destination.
•
When connecting a host interface cable, check the direction of the connector tab and insert it all the
way in firmly.
When disconnecting a host interface cable, pull out the connector while holding its tab.
•
If the host interface ports and host interface cable connectors have covers, remove the covers. Keep the
removed covers in a safe place where they will not be lost.
•
When connecting the cables, position them so that they will not obstruct replacement of the power sup-
ply unit or controllers by the maintenance engineer.
This section uses a controller enclosure with two controllers as an example to explain the connection pro-
cedure. When one controller is installed, only Controller 0 (CM#0) has to be installed.
