RAID controller
Each RAID controller contains several connectors and LEDs. Each
controller has two host ports and one expansion port for connecting the
storage server to hosts or expansion units. You first insert SFPs into the
ports and then connect the Fibre Channel cables.
Host ports
The host ports are used to connect a Fibre Channel cable from the host
systems. You first insert an SFP into the port and then connect a Fibre
Channel cable. The two host ports in each controller are independent. They
are not connected in the controller module as they would be in a hub
configuration.
Ethernet port
The Ethernet port is for an RJ-45 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T Ethernet
connection. Use the Ethernet connection to directly manage storage
subsystems.
Expansion port
The expansion port is used to connect additional expansion units to the
RAID controllers. You first insert a SFP into the port and then connect a
fibre channel cable.
Note: You must purchase the option to enable the attachment of up to two
FAStT EXP700 Expansion Units using optional EXP700 Attachment
features (feature number 7360, or features number 7361 and
number 7362).
Serial port
The serial port is used by service personnel to perform diagnostic
operations on the RAID controllers.
Server ID switch
The Server ID switch settings range from 0 through 7, and unique IDs
ranging from 00 through 77 can be set.
Note: For controller firmware version 05.33.xx.xx, both host and expansion ports
operate at 2 Gbps only.
