Before You Begin
Before you begin the installation, make sure that:
■
You are installing the controller module in a 56-inch expansion cabinet containing
five drive trays. The cabinet, drive tray mounting hardware, drive trays, and
other hardware are already installed, set up, and sitting near their permanent
operating location.
■
You have SCSI cables to connect each drive tray to the controller module. These
cables should have been shipped with the drive trays. Have the SCSI bus cabling
attached and ready for final connection to the controller module.
■
The cabinet and installation site meet all area, environmental, power, and site
requirements for the controller module. Refer to the Sun RSM Array 2000 System
Manual for more information.
■
The host is installed and contains two SBus Wide Intelligent Ultra™ SCSI
(UDWIS/S) host adapters. You can use a DWIS/S host adapter in place of the
UDWIS/S host adapter, but use the UDWIS/S host adapter to achieve optimum
SCSI performance.
