Compaq HSZ80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.3 Configuration and CLI Reference Guide
Connecting a Single Controller to the Host
Follow these steps and Figure 2–1 to connect a single, nonredundant controller to the
host:
1. Configure the controller. See “Configuring a Single Controller,” page 2–5.
2. Ensure the host and adapter are also configured. See the host user’s guide for
details.
3. Connect a trilink to the controller going into host Port 1:
a. Connect the host bus cable onto one end of the trilink connector.
b. For a BA370 enclosure residing in an SW600 cabinet, snap the ferrite bead
on the bus cable within one inch of the controller.
4. Connect a terminator on the trilink connector for host Port 1:
a. If the controller is at the end of the host bus, connect a terminator to the other
connector on the front of the trilink connector.
b. Otherwise, connect a cable that continues to the next device on the bus. Be
sure to install a terminator at the end of the bus.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for host Port 2.
IMPORTANT: The HSZ80 Array Controller has dual-host ports, Port 1 and Port 2,
which may be configured at the same time. The configuration in Figure 2–1 only
shows a connection to host Port 1. However, you may also configure host Port 2
the same way, depending on your system requirements.
