Warning!

!

Risk of exposure to laser radiation

Do not disassemble or remove any part of a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver

 

because you might be exposed to laser radiation.

 

 

 

In this step, you will connect the E2600 controller-drive tray to the host or hosts, and then you

 

will connect the DE1600 drive tray to either a E2600 controller-drive tray (which contains the

 

controllers), or to another DE1600 drive tray in the storage array.

 

For more information, refer to these documents:

 

– DE1600 Drive Tray Quick Install Guide

 

– E2600 Installation manual

 

You can find the E2600 Controller-Drive Tray Installation manual and additional documentation

 

in the Online Product Catalog on http://www.boschsecurity.com > Video > Digital Recording

Host-to-Controller Cabling

1.Attach the appropriate cables and components for the relevant protocol (Fibre Channel, SAS, or Ethernet).

2.Choose the host connection configuration (examples follow).

Direct topology

Connect the cable from the host port on the controller to either an HBA port, a SAS port, a host channel adapter (HCA) Fibre Channel port, or an Ethernet adapter (iSCSI) on the host. The fi gures on the next page all show the HBA port option on the host.

Switch or fabric topology

Connect the cable from the host port on the controller to a port on the switch, and make sure that the HBA and the controller are in the same zone on the switch.

Mixed topology

Use a combination of direct topology and fabric topology.

3.Repeat step 1 through step 2 for each controller and host channel that you intend to use.

4.When you are finished, label each end of the cable with information about its connection.

Direct Topology – Two Hosts and a Dual Controller-Drive Tray for Maximum Redundancy

(For more examples of a switch or fabric topology or of a mixed topology, refer to E2600 Installation manual)
