Connecting the Router

To connect devices to the SCSI channels:

1Be sure the router is turned off.

2Turn off the SCSI devices you want to connect.

3Connect one end of a SCSI cable to a SCSI channel(s) on the back of the router. See Figure 2-3 on page 2-4.

4Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the SCSI device.

Make sure each device on the SCSI bus has a unique address (the FS2620R uses address 7 by default).

5Make sure that each channel is properly terminated.

Termination on the LVD/SE SCSI bus is always enabled at the router. You must also terminate the SCSI bus at the device end.

Connecting to the Fibre Channel Port

You can connect the router directly to an FC HBA or to an FC switch or hub. You must use proper FC components (for example, GBICs, media interface adapters [MIAs], and FC cable, either optical or copper). Contact Chaparral for information on components tested by Chaparral and advice on attaching SCSI devices in an optimal manner for your applications.

You will need to purchase GBICs through your distributor. The GBIC connector is available in four different versions:

✁Copper (Active)

–DB-9

–HSSDC

✁Optical

–Short wave

–Long wave

To connect to the Fibre Channel port:

1Be sure the router is turned off.

2Insert the GBICs into the Fibre Channel ports.

See Figure 2-3 on page 2-4. The GBIC is keyed and can only go in one way. Be sure that the GBIC locks into place.

3Connect one end of the Fibre Channel cable to the GBIC.

4Connect the other end of the Fibre Channel cable to a server’s HBA or to an arbitrated loop hub or fabric switch.
