1.3.2 Connecting the Switch to the RAID System
Use the procedures below to connect the SW08-Q4 Switch to the A12S2-PS RAID system.
Note: The top two rows of ports in the rear panel of the SW08-Q4 Switch has eight (8) QSFP ports available
for connectivity of up to eight clients. The bottom row of four (4) QSFP ports are for connectivity of up to four
A12S2-PS RAID units.
1. Connect your RAID storage unit to the ExaSAN SW08-Q4 Switch with
an QSFP cable. Insert one end of the PCIe cable into the PCIe port on
the back of the RAID system. Your cable connector is securely plugged
when you hear a "click". If you need to unplug the cable, pull the ring on
the connector firmly until it is detached from the port.
2. Insert the other end of the cable into one of the three storage module
ports on the rear panel of the ExaSAN switch.
3. Plug a power cord into the AC power-in port in the storage unit; do not
turn power on yet.
