Hardware Installation
This chapter describes how to install your DSE4XM hardware.
Your DSE4XM includes a DXH510 PCI Express host adapter card and two 1-meter
CX4 cables. These components support a x8 connection between the DSE4XM chassis
and one server, which is the standard shipping configuration for the DSE4XM.
The DSE4XM supports additional configurations accommodating connections to up to
four servers, with a fixed amount of storage allocated to each server. Each additional
server requires a DXH510 adapter card and cable to connect to the DSE4XM chassis.
Allocation of memory to each server is specified at the time the product is ordered and
pre-configured at the factory. Dual x8 connection to a single server also requires an
additional DXH510 and factory pre-configuration. Please contact Dolphin customer
support at http://www.dolphinics.com/support
to request a multi-server or dual x8
DSE4XM configuration.
