2.4 Rack Mounting
The RamSan-210 is a 2U rack-mountable system. The system is shipped with the slides

Figure 2-2 RamSan-210 Interface Plate
Your system will be equipped with either one or two FC32 Fibre Channel controllers.
Figure 2- shows the port layout for the RamSan-210. Each controller has two Fibre
Channel ports A and B, on the left and right respectfully. These port numbers have no
correlation to the port identifiers assigned during port login. They are only used in the
management utilities for identification and LUN assignments. The interface plate also
has a DB-9 RS-232 serial connection and an RJ-45 Ethernet port. These ports are used
for local and remote management of the system. The FC32 ports on the system are
capable of connecting to point-to-point, arbitrated loop, and switched fabric topologies.
2.6 Connecting the Power Supplies
The RamSan-210 is equipped with dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies that
operate on 110/220 VAC line power. Using the provided AC power cords, connect both
power supplies to a source of power.
For normal system operation make sure both power supplies are connected to an external
power source. Since the power supplies are redundant, you may remove line power from
