Figure 3-19: Connecting Nexsan E32 to two Nexsan E32X Storage Systems
a. Insert one SAS cable into the
EXP OUT 0
port on the top expansion controller of the first Nexsan
Storage Expansion.
b. Insert the other end of the SAS cable into the
EXP IN 0
port on the top Expansion Controller of the
second Nexsan Storage Expansion.
c. Repeat steps a and b, connecting the
EXP OUT 1
port of the top controller of the first Nexsan
Storage Expansion to the
EXP IN 1
port of the top controller of the second Nexsan Storage
Expansion.
d. Repeat steps a through c to connect the bottom expansion controllers of the Nexsan Storage
Expansions.
CAUTION
: Expansion Controller 0 on the first enclosure MUST be connected to Expansion
Controller 0 on the second enclosure, and Expansion Controller 1 on the first enclosure
MUST be connected to Expansion Controller 1 on the second enclosure.
4. Power up all Nexsan Storage Systems:
CAUTION
: The cordset specification for the Nexsan E18X in North America is IEC C13 to IEC
C14 rated 110V/15A. When applying power to the Nexsan Storage System, use ONLY the
IEC power cords originally supplied with it. Do NOT use other power cords, even if they
appear identical to the supplied cords.
CAUTION
: The Nexsan E32X/Nexsan E18X does not have power switches. The only way to
apply power to the Nexsan E32X/Nexsan E18X is to attach the power cords. Do NOT attach
the power cords until the Nexsan Storage System is fully installed, with all disk drives in place
and all connections to the local area network (LAN) and storage area network (SAN)
connected.
