Configuration

To HBA

Note: Quad loop configuration requires that the enclosure be configured in split loop mode. To set split loop mode, a jumper must be installed at jumper location JP3 on each LS module in the enclosure.

This section describes the procedure for connecting the enclosure in quad loop mode. For this configuration there must be two LS modules and two I/O modules installed in the enclosure.

1Remove both LS modules from the enclosure and install a jumper, at jumper location JP3 if one is not already installed. This sets the enclosure to operate in split loop mode.

2Attach cables to the top and bottom connector of both I/O modules (see Figure 3-4).

3Attach the other end of these four cables to your host systems.
