The following section describes how to cable the disk shelves to the storage engine. They are connected to the storage engine in pairs, one for each loop. Disk shelf numbering begins at the storage engine with disk shelf one and progresses outward to the maximum number of disk shelves for each loop.
Connect the disk shelves to the storage engine in the sequence shown in the following figure.
To connect the disk shelves to the storage engine, complete the following steps, using the figure for reference.
| 1 | ||
| 2 | Make sure that the storage engine and disk shelves are turned off. |
|
| 3 | Connect one end of the LC/LC optical cable to the top port of the Fibre Channel adapter, then connect the other end to the Input port of the first disk shelf in Loop 1. |
|
| 4 | Connect one end of the LC/LC optical cable to the bottom port of the Fibre Channel adapter, then connect the other end to the Input port of the first disk shelf in Loop 2. |
|
| 5 | If your system has more than two disk shelf loops, repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for each additional pair of disk shelf loops. |
|
| 6 | Connect one end of the HSSDC2 shelf-to-shelf cable to the Output port of the first disk shelf in the loop, then connect the other end to the Input port of the next disk shelf in the loop. |
|
| 7 | Repeat Step 5 until all disk shelves in the loops are cabled. |
|
| 8 | Set the Terminate switches to OFF on all but the last disk shelf in each loop. Set the Terminate switch to ON on the last disk shelf in each loop. |
|
| 9 | Set the disk shelf ID, from 1 to 6, for each disk shelf in both loops. |
