4. Connect Fibre Channel cabling as shown in the figure.
The figure shows how Port B on the Profile XP system is used to provide a
connection to the optional redundant controllers in PFC500’s. This provides a
redundant connection to the Fibre Channel RAID drives in the event a failure
occurs on the controller card attached to Port A. When failover occurs, the system
continues to run with minimal interruption.
5. Set the chassis addresses on each PFC500 and PFC 500E chassis (if installed) as
shown in the figure. The chassis address of each PFC500 must be set to 0.
If you cable any PFC 500Es to the PFC500s, you might want to set the nearest
PFC500E’s chassis address to 1, and the next to 2. When powered-on, the chassis
addresses are indicated on the front panel.
PFC500 (Chassis Address = 0)
PFC500E (Chassis Address = 1)
