Note: Connecting cables

For x4 operation connect a cable to one or more of the ten DXS410 front ports. Connect the other end of the cable to each targeted device, such as a DXH510 host adapter board. A single cable is required to connect to each device you intend to connect at x4 speeds. For examples, you can connect port 1 on the switch box to port 0 on a DXH510 HBA board.

For x8 operation two cables are necessary to form a x8 connection. When connecting ports make sure you are connecting lower ports to lower ports and upper ports to upper ports. The lower ports of the DXS410 are ports 1,3,5,7 and 9. The upper ports are ports 2,4,6,8 and 10. The silk screen outlines the connection ports for a x8 connection. For example to create a x8 connection to a host, connect ports 1 and 2 on the switch box to the corresponding ports 0 and 1 on a DXH510 HBA, with port 1 on the switch con- nected to port 0 on the HBA and port 2 on the switch connected to port 1 on the HBA.

6.For clustering applications, install at least one DXH510 HBAs in two or more host PCs using a PCIe slot that support x8 or x16 peripheral cards. Follow PC manufac- turer’s instructions for installing peripheral cards.
