WARNING
The bifurcated power cord provides a single-source power connection. For safety
precautions, this power cord should always be used. The bifurcated power cord is the
same for all countries.
6. Power up your StudioZ GT1 workstation, and turn the key in the Fibre Channel I/O
module from Service to Run to power up the Fibre Channel storage system. See SS-
1200-FCAL Rack Installation and User Guide for more information on the I/O module.
NOTE
The spinup light on each drive is a steady green when the Fibre Channel has powered up
properly. If you see an amber spinup light on any drive, make sure that the Fibre Channel
cable (MCBL337) is securely connected.
NOTE
The initialization light on the Fibre Channel storage system is amber until Windows NT
initializes the storage system, whereupon this light turns green.
Installing Additional Fibre Channel Storage Systems
You can add up to two additional Fibre Channel Storage systems to the system discussed
above. Each of these systems is delivered with eight drives, and you can purchase four
additional drives for each storage system.
To add an additional Fibre Channel storage system:
1. Connect the HSSDC end of the Fibre Channel cable (MCBL337) to the Fibre Channel
port on the Q-Logic adapter card in the system and tighten the thumbscrews.
2. Connect the other end of the Fibre Channel cable to the female DB9 end of the Y cable
(MCBL384) and tighten the thumbscrews.
NOTE
The side of the Y cable with two legs has one short leg and one long leg—both are male DB9
connectors.
3. Attach the short leg of the Y cable to the Tx/Rx port on the I/O module of the first Fibre
Channel chassis.
4. Attach the long leg of the Y cable to the Tx port on the I/O module in the second Fibre
Channel chassis.
5. Connect one end of a one-meter DB9-to-DB9 Fibre Channel cable (MCBL336) to the Tx
port on the first chassis; then connect the other end of the cable to the Tx/Rx port on the
second chassis.
To add a third Fibre Channel storage system:
1. Obtain an additional one-meter DB9-to-DB9 Fibre Channel cable (MCBL336A0).
2. Repeat steps 1 through 3 of the previous set of instructions.
3. Connect the long leg of the Y cable to the Tx port of the I/O module on the third Fibre
Channel chassis.
