4. If you are only installing eight drives, place the dummy carriers (CGEN576) into the
remaining drive bays in the left column. These install the same way as the regular
drives and will look the same once installed, with the exception of the serial number
label (the dummy carriers do not have serial number labels). Otherwise, continue
installing the drives as described in steps 2 and 3.
NOTE
Use a torx driver (CTOL805) to lock a drive. Insert the torx driver into the red, star-shaped
hole on the drive face. Turn the driver counterclockwise until you see a red tab appear in the
drive face; this indicates that the drive is locked and cannot be opened accidentally. See the
SS-1200-FCAL Rack Installation and User Guide for more information on these anti-tamper
locks.
Setting Up the Fibre Channel Storage System
Once you have installed all of the storage system components, you are ready to hook it up to
a system and a power outlet and start creating. There are some things the system must have;
if you purchased the StudioZ GT1 workstation, it will have all of the requirements necessary
for the Fibre Channel storage system.
NOTE
See the
StudioZ GT for SOFTIMAGE|DS System Guide for information on this workstation.
Workstation Requirements
StudioZ GT1 base unit
Q-Logic adapter card (CINFE50)
Q-Logic driver software
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
To connect the Fibre Channel storage system to your workstation:
1. Make sure that your workstation is properly shut down and powered off.
2. Connect the HSSDC end of the Fibre Channel cable (MCBL337) to the Fibre Channel
port on the Q-Logic adapter card in the StudioZ GT1 base and tighten the thumb screws.
3. Connect the DB9 end of the Fibre Channel cable to the FC-AL Tx/Rx port on the Fibre
Channel I/O module (column 2 of slot 3) and tighten the thumb screws.
4. Insert the key into the operator panel and turn it to the Service position (this is the key
that was taped to the operator panel module before you installed the module).
5. Connect the two female ends of the bifurcated power cord to both power supplies, then
plug the male end of the bifurcated power cord into the female end of the power cord.
Plug this into your power source (preferably the same power source that your StudioZ
GT1 workstation uses).
NOTE
The part number for the power cord depends on the country where the workstation will be
used. Make sure you obtain the proper power cord for your region.
