Configuration Guidelines

Use the following guidelines for installing and cabling or reconfiguring your system.

Do not exceed a SCSI bus length of 25 meters.

Make sure that the last Sun StorEdge A3000 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 cabinet.
