Note:   12 bay RAIDs require 12 Bay JBODs, 16 bay and 24 bay RAIDs require 16 
bay JBODs.  Refer the RAID hardware manual for specific information regarding 
your specific JBOD configuration.   
 
Also note that since 24bay RAIDs take address 0 and 1, the JBODs addresses need 
to start with 2. 

3  AC Mains Cabling:

  Two AC cables are included and should be plugged into each of 

the Galaxy Power Supply  Units.  

 

4 Host Cabling:

     

Install the SFP’s into each of the controllers  FC ports. Remove the protective caps and 
install the FC cables we have provided. 

                

 

Although we can’t predict the exact way you will want to cable  the Galaxy RAID into a 
FC SAN, we have come up with a worse case diagram to show you how that would be
