Chapter 2 Hardware Installation

This chapter discusses the basic operational installation and the Disk Drive

installation.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Preparing for the Installation

Disk Drive Installation

Table and Shelf Installation

Rack-Mount Installation

2.1 Preparing for the Installation

If you want to connect your FASTORADAS-315SA DAS to the computer using

a SCSI adapter, install the adapter(s) in an available slot in the computer prior

to beginning FASTORADAS-315SA installation. See your operating system

manuals for the configuration procedures for the host bus adapter.

2.1.1 Terminating Disk Drive Channels

All SCSI buses must be terminated at each end. Termination absorbs electrical

signals and prevents those signals from bouncing back along the bus and

causing interference.

The SCSI drive channels of FASTORA DAS-315SA have been terminated

inside the chassis on the back plane. There is no need to terminate the disk

drives!

2.1.2 Connecting FASTORA DAS-315SA

FASTORADAS-315SA can be connected to the host computer via 2 Ultra 3

SCSI ports.

2.1.3 Host Bus SCSI ID Assignment

You may assign any SCSI ID to the host channel. The range of SCSI IDs on a

Wide SCSI bus starts from 0 to 15. You can use the Web browser RAID

management through standard 10/100 Ethernet port or a terminal to set the

host channel ID. (Refer to Section 3.1 Configuration Methods for more

information.) Be sure to assign an ID that does not conflict with any other

devices on the host bus as well as the host adapter.

2.1.4 Host Bus Termination

The DAS is shipped with host channel buses terminated. If the DAS is the last

device on the host bus, the LVD terminator should be connected. (See Figure

2-1)
