Quick Installation Guide

Subsystem Cable Connections

Note:
Once all the hardware components have 
been installed, the following items must 
be connected to externally.

Power Cable:

Two power cables, that are supplied with 
the EonStor subsystem, must be plugged 
into the PSU sockets at the rear of the 
EonStor subsystem, and connected 
directly to the mains. The PSU socket can 
be seen in 

Figure 14

.

Host Ports:

The FC-to-SATA controller modules come 
with two SFP connectors at the rear of the 
controller module for host connectivity 
and can be seen in 

Figure 16

 and 

Figure 

17

. (Details on FC cables and SFP 

connectors can be found in Hardware 
Manual). The SCSI-to-SATA subsystem 
comes with two VHDCI host connectors 
(see 

Figure 15

) at the rear of the 

controller module that must also be 
connected to an external host computer.

RS-232C Audio Jack:

Each controller module comes with two 
RS-232C Audio Jack serial ports. One 
port is reserved for terminal emulation 
management the other port is used for 
UPS support.  Two audio jack to DB9 
cables are provided to facilitate the 
connection of these serial ports.

RJ-45 Ethernet Port:

The RS-232C Audio Jack serial ports can 
be used to assign a permanent IP to the 
EonStor subsystem. After a permanent IP 
address has been assigned, shielded 
Ethernet cables must be used to connect 
the RJ-45 Ethernet port to a hub on a 
network. This enables users to manage 
their subsystem via the web.
