Combinations of Hosts, Channels and Arrays

Review Table E-1 for combinations of common hosts, channels, and arrays. Contact Ciprico Inc technical support for other combinations (The table is based on this assumption: that the hosts are connected to the left-most ports, with the arrays connected to their immediate right).
