Connect the cables for the secondary controllers as follows.
NOTE
Do not connect cables to the external ports of the primary controller, located in PCI Slot 4.
The primary controller uses Channel 0 and 1 for the internal RAID section, so a cable cannot
be connected to the external Channel 0 and Channel 1 port.
To connect the cables to the system and cabinet:
1. Connect a RAID SCSI cable to the Channel 0 port on the cabinet and to the Channel 0
port on the secondary MegaRAID controller. Repeat for the Channel 1 port. See the
following figure.

External Ports on the
PCI I/O Panel
Channel 0
Channel 1
NOTE
If necessary, the ports at the top of the deskside disk array cabinet can be used instead of the
lower ports.
2. Secure the cables using the thumb screws (finger tight only). Failure to secure the
cables properly can result in intermittent problems with the cabinet or the MegaRAID
controller.
3. Choose the proper power cord for the cabinet, depending on your country. See the
Power Supply Cord Selection instruction sheet included in the accessory pack.
4. Connect the power cord to the InterRAID-8e cabinet and to the facility power outlet, AC
distribution box, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
CAUTION
If the system does not connect to a UPS, data loss can occur if there is a power failure.
