Step 4: Network and Data Cable Connections
Figure 5. VTrak M310p/M210p DAS connections
This arrangement requires:
• A network switch
• A network interface card (NIC) in the PC
• A SCSI HBA card in the PC
• A SCSI cable that fits your HBA card and has a VHDCI connector to fit the
VTrak SCSI channel
VTrak’s SCSI connectors are bi-directional. However, the internal termination
feature works only on the “Out” connector. Internal termination is set to
“Automatic” by default.
Connect the PC’s standard NIC and VTrak’s Management Port to your network
switch to establish the management path.
Connect a SCSI cable to the PC’s SCSI HBA card and one of the VTrak’s SCSI
channels. To use the internal termination feature, attach the SCSI cable to the
“In” connector. An external terminator is not required for this arrangement.
If you plan to connect multiple VTraks on a SCSI chain, connect the other side of
the same SCSI channel on the first VTrak to a SCSI channel on the second
VTrak.
See Chapters 4 or 5 of the VTrak Product Manual on the software CD for more
information.
