Installing the Router

Connecting the Router

The router has several types of data connections:

✁Fibre Channel (gigabaud interface connector [GBIC])—permitting connection to other FC devices, typically through an arbitrated loop or SAN with fabric.

✁Three SCSI channels—permitting the connection of up to 15 devices on each channel.

✁RS-232 serial port—for configuration and management of the router.

✁Ethernet (10BaseT)—connects to your local area network (LAN) to permit configuration and management of the router.

For first time installation, install the SCSI devices first to ensure the router and its assigned devices are working properly. You should connect all SCSI devices to the router and power it on. After proper operation is established, you can proceed to connect the FC host and the RS-232 or Ethernet ports.

Connecting to the SCSI Channels

With the FS1310, you can attach SCSI storage devices to one, two, or three of the router’s SCSI channels. Up to 15 SCSI devices can be attached to each channel (45 total). You can attach SCSI storage devices to channel 0, for a maximum of 15 SCSI devices.

Tip: For optimal performance, use channels 1 and 2 first, then channel 0 on the FS1310.
