Connecting SCSI Array Enclosures (Storage Subsystems)
To help you conveniently manage your SCSI storage subsystems, a
variety of array enclosures are available from different manufactur-
ers. Figure 2-10 shows a typical setup between the array enclosure
and the system. To install your SCSI devices in these enclosures,
refer to the enclosure’s documentation. The following information is
provided to help you properly connect your enclosure to the system:
■
All rules for SCSI ID and termination must be followed when
installing SCSI devices in an array enclosure.
■
Ideally, the array enclosure itself should provide termination
capability and you should disable termination on all the drives
in the enclosure. If you terminate the SCSI bus by enabling ter-
mination on a drive, you may run into problems if you have to
replace that drive and you then forget to terminate the replace-
ment drive.
■
If the enclosure you are using for the array drives is not specif-
ically designed as an array enclosure (such as a standard tower
unit), be sure it has adequate cooling and ventilation.
