Chaparral FS2620R - Manual (Page 21)

Connecting the Router
2-5
To connect devices to the SCSI channels:
1 Be sure the router is turned off.
2 Turn off the SCSI devices you want to connect.
3 Connect one end of a SCSI cable to a SCSI channel(s) on the back of the router.
See Figure 2-3 on page 2-4 .
4 Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI device.
Make sure each device on the SCSI bus has a unique address (the FS2620R uses
address 7 by default).
5 Make sure that each channel is properly terminated.
Termination on the LVD/SE SCSI bus is always enabled at the router. You must also
terminate the SCSI bus at the device end.
Connecting to the Fibre Channel Port
You can connect the router directly to an FC HBA or to an FC switch or hub. You must
use proper FC components (for example, GBICs, media interface adapters [MIAs], and
FC cable, either optical or copper). Contact Chaparral for information on components
tested by Chaparral and advice on attaching SCSI devices in an optimal manner for your
applications.
You will need to purchase GBICs through your distributor. The GBIC connector is
available in four different versions:
!
Copper (Active)
– DB-9
– HSSDC
!
Optical
– Short wave
– Long wave
To connect to the Fibre Channel port:
1 Be sure the router is turned off.
2 Insert the GBICs into the Fibre Channel ports.
See Figure 2-3 on page 2-4 . The GBIC is keyed and can only go in one way.
Be sure that the GBIC locks into place.
3 Connect one end of the Fibre Channel cable to the GBIC.
4 Connect the other end of the Fibre Channel cable to a server’s HBA or to an
arbitrated loop hub or fabric switch.
