The FORTRAH1 Chaparral G5312 is designed to be used with one G5312 SCSI
to SCSI RAID bridge controller from Chaparral. The unit provides one SCSI LVD
SCSI-2 host connection and two SCSI LVD SCSI-2 (80MB/s) device channels
which are backwards compatible with SE SCSI.
The figure below shows the rear unit view where all of the I/O and power
connections are made. Additionally, each controller can be removed from the
back of the unit and the power supplies and blowers may be hot-swapped from
the rear of the unit.
Installation Steps
1. If the G5312 controller is not installed in canisters, then install the controller
into the JMR canister provided and plug into the unit. See Section,
'Controller Canister Installation'.
2. Install up to 10, 3.5" LP SCSI hard disk drives into the device canisters
using 4 screws per device (Screws have been provided - JMR P/N HDS-
01906) for mounting, and install into the front of the unit. Refer to Chapter 3
for drive installation.
3. Configure additional option settings as required. Refer to Chapter 4 for
option settings.
4. Plug in the two AC power cords to the AC inlet located on each power
supply in the rear of the unit. Turn both power supplies on using the on/off
switch located on each power supply.
5. Use a straight through DB-9 serial cable to communicate to the controller(s)
for RAID array creation and setup. Refer to Chaparral documentation for
correct serial port settings.
6. After the RAID set has been created, connect the Fibre channel host I/O
port(s) to a HBA and configure the RAID array in the O/S environment.
