Installation
Procedure Install the 6500 disk array as follows:
Step 1.
Move Array to
Operation Site
Move the array to its intended place of operation. Verify that power and
communication cables will be accessible, and that the array will be installed in
a properly ventilated, climate-controlled environment with adequate work
space around the unit.
Step 2.
Mount
Enclosure
• The standard array enclosure is shipped from the factory ready for
placement on a desktop. Attach the supplied rubber feet to the bottom of
the enclosure, and position the unit properly on a desk or other work
surface.
• If you have ordered the rack-mount option, attach the kit to the enclosure
as described in the instructions included with the rack-mount kit.
Step 3.
Attach SCSI
Cable
Connect one end of the host-to-array SCSI cable to the host system, and the
other end to one of the SCSI-P connectors on the rear panel of the array. To
ensure a secure connection, attach the cable connectors to both the host and the
array using the small thumbscrews on each connector.
Step 4.
Terminate
SCSI Bus, if
Necessary
If the array is located at the end of the SCSI bus, or if the array is the only
peripheral device on the bus, install a termination pack (see the figure below.)
The termination pack will be either single-ended or differential, depending on
the type of array you are installing. Attach the appropriate termination pack to
the open SCSI-P connector on the rear panel of the array enclosure.
