NOTE:

Connection to iStorage M Series via SAS under Linux environment: Not supported

Please refer to the iStorage website for the supported device and OS by iStorage series

Please refer to the EXPRESSCLUSTER web site for cluster configuration

Depending on the FibreChannel(FC) link speed, the available cable type and/or length may differ. Please
refer to the users guide for the Fibre Channel Controller.

As 2m cables are used to connect SAS Controller and Device Expansion Unit, the following remarks
should be noted when using Device Expansion Unit.

Device Expansion Unit (2U): N8141-75
Can be mounted with the space less than 3U from the server (on top or under).
・
When moungint Device Expansion Unit on top or just under the server, all devices (1-4)
can be connected.
・
When mounting Device Expansion Unit with 1
– 3U space, Device 3 and 4 (left side of
the Unit in fromt view / connector 3 and 4 of right side from rear view) can be connected.
Among the space between the Device Expansion Unit and the server, the item with less
than 660mm in lengh can be mounted.

Device Expansion Unit (1U): N8141-74
Can be mounted with the space less than 2U from the server (on top or under).
・
When moungint Device Expansion Unit on top or just under the server, all devices (1-2)
can be connected. But SAS Controller to be connected to Device 1 should be installed at
PCI Slot#8 - #16. (SAS Controller to be connected to Device 2 can be installed at any
PCI Slot.)
・
When mounting Device Expansion Unit with 1-2U space, all devices (1-2) can be
connected. SAS Controller to be connected to Device 1 should be installed at PCI Slot
#16. (SAS Controller to be connected to Device 2 can be installed at any PCI Slot.)
