1-2 Sun StorEdge A3500/A3500FC Hardware Configuration Guide • December 1999
1.1 Configuration Guidelines
Use the following guidelines to install and cable or reconfigure your StorEdge A3500
system.
■ The part number for the 12 meter SCSI host cable is 530-1886-xx.
■ Do not exceed a SCSI bus length of 25 meters (82 feet).
■ Make sure that the last StorEdge A3500 controller module in any daisy chain has
a total of two terminators—one in each SCSI OUT port.
■ If you are adding a controller module to an already existing configuration, halt all
activity on the SCSI bus before removing any SCSI cables.
■ Once you finish cabling the devices and powering on, reboot the system by
typing
boot -r at the ok prompt before beginning any SCSI bus activity.
■ Perform a system check to make sure that SCSI connections are secure. Look for
fault LEDs on the hardware or error messages in the RAID Manager GUI.
Note – Refer to your server and rack documentation for instructions on grounding
the StorEdge A3500 expansion cabinet.
