Two Single-Bus Enclosures
This configuration is similar to the “Single-Bus Enclosure” except that the
capacity is expanded with a second cabinet providing a total of fourteen drives per
SCSI channel.
In this configuration a total of 16 SCSI IDs are available, one ID is consumed by
the AM RAID Controller, and ID 3 is taken by the SAF-TE processor, leaving the
fourteen remaining SCSI IDs available for the disk drives. Since the two CR8e
enclosures provide for sixteen drives, with only 14 IDs available two drive slots
will remain empty under this configuration.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF (O) position for both the
host system and the CR8e subsystem before connecting any cables.
1
Connect one end of a one meter data cable to the Channel #1 connector on
the AM RAID Controller.
2
Connect the other end of the data cable to the Channel #1 SCSI connector on
the upper or right side I/O Interface card.
NOTE:
The Channel #1 connector located on the upper or right side I/O Interface
card is the active connector when the Single-Bus module is installed.
3
Locate the jumper cables. Connect one end of a jumper cable to the Channel #0
SCSI connector on the left side or lower I/O Interface card in the first cabinet.
