Cabling One PowerVault 22xS Shared Storage System to a Cluster SE500W

NOTE: See "Configuring the PowerVault 22xS Storage System for Cluster Mode" for more information about configuring the storage systems.

NOTICE: Do not turn on the systems or the storage system(s) until the split-bus module on the back of the PowerVault system has been set to cluster mode and all cabling is complete.

NOTICE: The asymmetrical, D-shaped SCSI connectors can be damaged if they are forced together when they are not oriented to each other correctly. To avoid connector damage, match the connector shapes (long side-to-long side and short side-to-short side). Insert the cable connector straight (not at an angle) into the card connector.

1Connect the SCSI connector A (see Figure 2-1) on the back of the PowerVault 22xS storage system to the 68-pin connector on the first SCSI cable (see Figure 2-2), and then tighten the retaining screws.

NOTE: As viewed from the back of the system, the left EMM is the primary EMM and the right EMM is the secondary EMM.

NOTE: See "Enabling the Cluster Mode Using the PERC RAID Adapter" for more information about cluster-enabling the card.

2Connect the very high-density connector interface (VHDCI) connector of the first SCSI cable to the channel 0 connector on the cluster-enabled PERC RAID adapter in the first PowerEdge system (see Figure 2-2), and then tighten the retaining screws.
