Figure 2-1. Cabling a Clustered System With One PowerEdge SDS 100 Storage System

1.Connect the 68-pin connector on the 4-m SCSI cable to SCSI connector A on the back of the SDS 100 storage system, and tighten the retaining screws.

2.Connect the ultra-high density (UHD) connector of the SCSI cable to the channel 0 connector (the rightmost connector) on the cluster RAID con- troller in the first PowerEdge server, and tighten the retaining screws.

NOTES: On clusters with a single SDS 100 storage system, either server system can be connected to either storage system SCSI connector.

Be sure to securely tighten the retaining screws on the SCSI connectors to ensure a reliable connection.

3.Connect the 68-pin connector on the second 4-m SCSI cable to SCSI connector B on the back of the SDS 100 storage system, and tighten the retaining screws.

4.Connect the UHD connector of the second SCSI cable to the channel 0 connector on the cluster RAID controller in the second PowerEdge server, and tighten the retaining screws.

NOTE: If the SDS 100 storage system is ever disconnected from the cluster, it must be reconnected to the same controller channels on the RAID control- lers to operate properly.
