4 — Connect Cables
The following deployment documents a Sensor System with a
single sensor (SA
-
SRVG8-20 or SA
-
SRVG8-40) connected to
a storage array (SA
-
STAG8-2U144) with up to three expansion
enclosures (SA
-
STXG8-2X144). For information on other
deployments, see the Security Analytics documentation at:
NOTE:
Network cables are not included with the storage
array. Make sure to use only straight-through Ethernet
cables. Category 5E cables or better are recommended for
1000Base-T operation. Category 6A cables are
recommended for 10GBase-T operation.
NOTE:
For SAS connections, use the 12Gb HD-Mini to HD-
Mini SAS cables included with the storage array, or equivalent.
1. Connect the storage array to the management network:
Connect an Ethernet cable to the storage array’s
Network
port on
Controller A
. Connect the other end
of the cable to the management network.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the storage array’s
Network
port on
Controller B
. Connect the other end
of the cable to the management network.
2. Connect the storage array to the sensor:
If the sensor has one RAID controller (see
):
– Connect an SAS cable to the storage array’s
SAS 0
port on
Controller A
. Connect the other end of the
cable to the sensor’s SAS 0 port (RAID 1).
– Connect an SAS cable to the storage array’s
SAS 0
port on
Controller B
. Connect the other end of the
cable to the sensor’s SAS 1 port (RAID 1).
If the sensor has two RAID controllers, connect the
following cables as well (see
):
– Connect an SAS cable to the storage array’s
SAS 1
port on
Controller A
. Connect the other end of the
cable to the sensor’s SAS 0 port (RAID 2).
– Connect an SAS cable to the storage array’s
SAS 1
port on
Controller B
. Connect the other end of the
cable to the sensor’s SAS 1 port (RAID 2).
3. Daisy-chain up to three expansion enclosures from the
storage array’s
SAS_EXP
).
4. Connect the included power cords to the storage array’s
power inlets. Connect the other ends of the cords to
separate power distribution systems.
