Connecting the Cables with USB and Turning On Your Drobo
Device
After installing Drobo Dashboard and inserting the hard drives into your Drobo B800i, you
are ready to connect the cables. You will first connect your Drobo B800i to a host computer
using your USB connection for the initial, administrative setup only—regardless of how
you plan to use your Drobo B800i. After the initial setup, you can use your Drobo B800i with
iSCSI, and also implement its use in a multi-host, virtual environment if desired.
Note: Only the USB cable interface or the iSCSI (Ethernet) cable interface can be
used at any one time. If both are plugged in, only the USB interface will be active.
As you follow the steps, refer to the image below, which shows the back of a Drobo B800i.
Connecting to Your Computer
1. Plug one end of the USB cable into the back of your Drobo B800i.
2. Plug the other end into a host computer.
Connecting to a Power Source
1. Connect the power supply to the power connection at the back of your Drobo device.
2. Connect the other end of the power supply to a power source.
Note: We recommend plugging into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or surge
protector. For more information, see “Using an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
or Power Surge Protector” on page 6.
You are now ready to turn on your Drobo device.
