1-2 Sun StorEdge A3500/A3500FC Hardware Configuration Guide December 1999
1.1 Configuration Guidelines
Use the following guidelines to install and cable or reconfigure your StorEdge A3500
system.
The part number for the 12 meter SCSI host cable is 530-1886-xx.
Do not exceed a SCSI bus length of 25 meters (82 feet).
Make sure that the last StorEdge A3500 controller module in any daisy chain has
a total of two terminators—one in each SCSI OUT port.
If you are adding a controller module to an already existing configuration, halt all
activity on the SCSI bus before removing any SCSI cables.
Once you finish cabling the devices and powering on, reboot the system by
typing boot -r at the ok prompt before beginning any SCSI bus activity.
Perform a system check to make sure that SCSI connections are secure. Look for
fault LEDs on the hardware or error messages in the RAID Manager GUI.
Note Refer to your server and rack documentation for instructions on grounding
the StorEdge A3500 expansion cabinet.
