NEC NF2300-SE41E manual

(3)Connection between array controllers and additional disk enclosures

You need to install the additional control card (NF2300-SP02E) before connecting the additional disk enclosure with the array controller.

Push the connector at either end of the FC cable (HSSDC) into the FC connector (DEF2) for the disk enclosure of the array controller 0 (CONT0) until a click is heard. You can use the FC cable (HSSDC) provided with the additional disk enclosure or the FC cable (HSSDC) of the separately priced DE cable (NF9120-SJ04E). The FC cable has the same connectors at both ends. Either connector may be connected to the controller.

Push the connector at the other end of the FC cable (HSSDC) into the FC-IN connector on adapter 0 (ADP0) of the additional disk enclosure until a click is heard.

Similarly, connect the FC connector (DEF3) for the disk enclosure on the additional control card installed on the other controller (CONT1) of the disk array unit to the FC-IN connector on adapter 1 (ADP1) of the additional disk enclosure.

Do not connect any cable/connector to the DEF3 connector of additional control card installed on controller 0 (CONT0) or DEF2 connector of the additional control card installed on controller 1 (CONT1).

Subsequently, use the DE diagnosis cable provided with the additional disk enclosure or the DE diagnosis cable of the separately priced DE cable (NF9120-SJ04E). Push the connector at either end of the DE diagnosis cable into the DE-DIAG connector [PORT1] on adapter 0 (ADP0) of the existing disk enclosure until a click is heard. The DE diagnosis cable has the same connectors at both ends. Either connector may be connected to the adapter of the existing disk enclosure.

Push the connector at the other end of the DE diagnosis cable into the DE-DIAG connector [PORT0] on adapter 0 (ADP0) of the additional disk enclosure until a click is heard.

Similarly, connect the DE-DIAG connector [PORT1] on adapter 1 (ADP1) of the existing disk enclosure to the DE-DIAG connector [PORT0] on adapter 1 (ADP1) of the additional disk enclosure.
