Connecting a Single Controller to the Host

Follow these steps and Figure 2–1to connect a single, nonredundant controller to the host:

1.Configure the controller. See “Configuring a Single Controller,” page 2–5.

2.Ensure the host and adapter are also configured. See the host user’s guide for details.

3.Connect a trilink to the controller going into host Port 1:

a.Connect the host bus cable onto one end of the trilink connector.

b.For a BA370 enclosure residing in an SW600 cabinet, snap the ferrite bead on the bus cable within one inch of the controller.

4.Connect a terminator on the trilink connector for host Port 1:

a.If the controller is at the end of the host bus, connect a terminator to the other connector on the front of the trilink connector.

b.Otherwise, connect a cable that continues to the next device on the bus. Be sure to install a terminator at the end of the bus.

5.Repeat steps 3 and 4 for host Port 2.

IMPORTANT: The HSZ80 Array Controller has dual-host ports, Port 1 and Port 2, which may be configured at the same time. The configuration in Figure 2–1only shows a connection to host Port 1. However, you may also configure host Port 2 the same way, depending on your system requirements.
