Connecting the RXT350 to the Host
1.
Power off the RXT350.
2.
Use a SCSI cable to connect all drives in the RXT350 to the host.
Note:
All RXT350 drives provide an Ultra320 SCSI interface, and should
work with any system that supports that connectivity method.
Spectra Logic has tested HBAs for compatibility with RXT350; that
compatibility matrix is posted on the Spectra Logic web site at
www.spectralogic.com.
Note:
Use either the top or bottom SCSI port on the back of the RXT350,
making sure that the other port is either terminated or daisy-
chained to another device.
3.
Set the SCSI ID for each drive using the switches on the rear panel.
The current ID displays in the
indicator window (Figure 2-4).
Use an object with a small pointed
tip (such as a stylus or a pen) to
press the plus (+) on the top or the
minus (-) at the bottom to set the
SCSI ID.
Note:
The SCSI ID setting must be unique to avoid a SCSI bus conflict.
4.
Turn on the RXT350.
5.
Turn on the host.
