Follow the steps in Table 10–1 to start the TruCluster Server hardware installation procedure. You can save time by installing the Memory Channel adapters, redundant network adapters (if applicable), and KZPSA-BB or KZPBA-CB SCSI adapters all at the same time.

Follow the directions in the referenced documentation, or the steps in the referenced tables for the particular SCSI host bus adapter, returning to the appropriate table when you have completed the steps in the referenced table.

_____________________ Caution _____________________

Static electricity can damage modules and electronic components. We recommend using a grounded antistatic wrist strap and a grounded work surface when handling modules.

Step

Action

Refer to:

1

Install the Memory Channel module(s),

Chapter 5a

 

cables, and hub(s) (if a hub is required).

 

 

 

 

2Install Ethernet or FDDI network adapters.

User’s guide for the applicable Ethernet or FDDI adapter, and the user’s guide for the applicable system

Install ATM adapters if using ATM.

See the documentation that came with the ATM adapter

3Install a KZPSA-BB PCI SCSI adapter or KZPBA-CB UltraSCSI adapter for each shared SCSI bus in each member system:

Internally terminated host bus adapter

Section 10.1.1 and Table 10–2

for radial connection to DWZZH

 

UltraSCSI hub:

 

Externally terminated host bus adapter:

Section 10.1.2 Table 10–3

a If you install additional KZPSA-BB or KZPBA-CB SCSI adapters or an extra network adapter at this time, delay testing the Memory Channel until you have installed all hardware.

10.1.1Radial Installation of a KZPSA-BB or KZPBA-CB Using Internal Termination

Use this method of cabling member systems and shared storage in a TruCluster Server cluster if you are using a DWZZH UltraSCSI hub. You must reserve at least one hub port for shared storage.
