Connecting the Drives to the StorPoint CD

A single StorPoint CD can service up to 7, 8 or 14 CD/DVD-ROM drives or up to six or seven hard disks, depending on model.

SCSI Server - The SCSI bus allows 7 drives to be connected to the StorPoint CD. Each unit on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI address. To work properly, the bus must be electrically terminated at both ends.

If you want to use the hard disk caching facility, you must connect 1 to 6 hard disk units to the StorPoint CD. The StorPoint CD will automatically format the hard disks detected on the SCSI bus.

IDE Server - The IDE bus allows 8 drives to be connected to the StorPoint CD. Each unit on the IDE bus must be assigned as Master or Slave.

If you want to use the hard disk caching facility, you must connect 1 to 7 hard disk units to the StorPoint CD. The StorPoint CD will automatically format the hard disks detected on the IDE bus.

Caution! Always make sure that power is not connected to the StorPoint CD or any of the drives when making changes to the SCSI chain. The SCSI bus or IDE bus may become damaged if you connect or disconnect any units when the power is on.

Dual SCSI Version

It is recommended that the dual SCSI version of StorPoint CD is installed in a

 

 

14 bay tower, i.e. all the drives are housed in the same enclosure with the SCSI

 

 

cables built-in.

Note:

However, if you are using two separate towers, we recommend that the cable

 

 

 

from the StorPoint CD to the second tower complies with the following

 

 

 

maximum cable length requirements:

 

 

 

• The cable from the StorPoint CD to the connector leaving the first

 

 

 

tower should not exceed 60 cm.

 

 

 

• The cable connecting the two towers should not exceed 50 cm.
