To install the StoneFly Storage Concentrators into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped
brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far the Storage
Concentrator will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to
balance the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your Storage Concen-
trator, remove it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side of the Storage Concentra-
tor. Finish by sliding the Storage Concentrator into the rack and tightening the brackets to
the rack.
The StoneFly Storage Concentrators should now be securely mounted into the rack/cabi-
net.
Step 4: Cabling the Equipment
The cabling plan must be followed to make the DR365-HA™ completely functional. The
following description shows the steps for two Storage Concentrator components, two
storage arrays, and one expansion unit.
Storage Concentrator ethernet connections are made between one or more switches and
the ethernet ports on each Storage Concentrator in the cluster. In a configuration with
dual-Gigabit ethernet connections in each Storage Concentrator, both connectors in the
PCI slot must be filled with standard Cat5 or Cat6 cable. A clustered pair of Storage Con-
centrators present several configurations of Ethernet ports:
1.
Six or Ten 1 GbE ports
2.
Two, Four or Eight 10 GbE ports
Use the Gigabit Ethernet ports labeled “iSCSI Ports” for the SAN connections. One circled
Management Port from each Storage Concentrator should be connected to a convenient
LAN switch.
