Installation

Procedure

Step 1. Move Array to Operation Site

Step 2.

Mount

Enclosure

Install the 6500 disk array as follows:

Move the array to its intended place of operation. Verify that power and communication cables will be accessible, and that the array will be installed in a properly ventilated, climate-controlled environment with adequate work space around the unit.

•The standard array enclosure is shipped from the factory ready for placement on a desktop. Attach the supplied rubber feet to the bottom of the enclosure, and position the unit properly on a desk or other work surface.

•If you have ordered the rack-mount option, attach the kit to the enclosure as described in the instructions included with the rack-mount kit.

Step 3.

Attach SCSI

Cable

Step 4. Terminate SCSI Bus, if Necessary

Connect one end of the host-to-array SCSI cable to the host system, and the other end to one of the SCSI-P connectors on the rear panel of the array. To ensure a secure connection, attach the cable connectors to both the host and the array using the small thumbscrews on each connector.

If the array is located at the end of the SCSI bus, or if the array is the only peripheral device on the bus, install a termination pack (see the figure below.)

The termination pack will be either single-ended or differential, depending on the type of array you are installing. Attach the appropriate termination pack to the open SCSI-P connector on the rear panel of the array enclosure.
