4. Connect an external, preferably active, SCSI terminator to the last drive in the

SCSI chain. If there is only one drive, it is the last one in the chain and must
be terminated. The StorPoint CD has built-in SCSI termination which is
always switched on. Therefore, the server must be physically located at one end
of the chain. This is the case for both the single and dual SCSI versions.

Note:

❏ Do not terminate the drives placed between the StorPoint CD and the last

drive.

5. Switch the power on to the whole of the tower.

6. The StorPoint CD front panel indicators will flash during power-on and self-

test. When the Status indicator stops flashing and turns solid green, the
StorPoint CD is ready for use.
