Step 3. RAID System Connections
Connecting RAID System to the Host
There were 4 iSCSI channel interfaces on each controller. Each channel
interface can be connected using standard Gat5/6 Ethernet cables.
You can configure your RAID system for Direct Storage (DAS) by directly
connecting to a host server or through an inexpensive gigabit Ethernet
switch to build a Storage Area Network (IP-SAN).
To connect the Ethernet cable:
1. Insert the cable to the CH port.
2. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to a LAN switch or directly to
a iSCSi port on the host server using a crossover cable.
Connecting SAS JBOD (Sold separately)
