3.21x2 Cables and Connections

This section contains information about SCSI and power connections for one StorEdge A3500 with two StorEdge D1000 disk arrays.

Note –The 1x2 configuration is not qualified on the A3500FC controller module.

In the 1x2 configuration, the controller module can be either on top of or below the two disk arrays. Both configurations are described in this section.

Tip –Do not place the controller module at the bottom of the rack because the controller board diagnostic LEDs will not be visible.

3.2.1Driveside SCSI Connections

The following table shows the length of each SCSI cable connected to the drive connections on the controller module.

TABLE 3-6Controller Module A (1x2) Cables

SCSI Port Number	Cable Length	Part Number

1	0.8m/2.6 ft	530-1884
2	0.8m/2.6 ft	530-1884
3	0.8m/2.6 ft	530-1884
4	0.8m/2.6 ft	530-1884
5	Differential SCSI terminator	150-1890

The inboard IN/OUT connectors on each disk array are terminated with a differential SCSI terminator, part number 150-1890.

FIGURE 3-11and FIGURE 3-12show the SCSI connections between the StorEdge A3500 controller module and the two StorEdge D1000 disk arrays.
