Master RemotaSilo Connected to Slave
RemotaSilo with RAID Controller
a. Use the asynchronous serial cable provided with the
RemotaSilo shipment to make the connection between the DB-
9 connector on the RemotaSilo chassis rear panel and the
desired COM port on the host computer.
b. To connect between the RAID controller and the internal DB-9
connector on the RemotaSilo circuit board (see Figure 3), use
an asynchronous serial cable with a DB-9 connector (usually
included with the RAID controller. This cable should have one
end equipped with a DB-9 plug connector, and the other end
equipped with a connector which is designed to mate with the
serial cable connector at the RAID controller’s display terminal
port. (If a DB-9 serial cable has not been provided with the
RAID controller, please contact the RAID controller vendor for
assistance). Refer to the RAID controller installation manual
provided by the manufacturer to determine the signal and pin
assignments for connection to the RAID controller display
terminal.
For thin Ethernet coaxial cable connection:
Note: Maximum thin coaxial cable segment length (without using a
repeater) is 607 feet.
•
Attach a T-connector to the BNC port located on the
Master RemotaSilo chassis rear panel.
•
Attach another T-connector to the BNC port located on the
Slave RemotaSilo chassis rear panel.
•
Connect the two RemotaSilo chassis together with a thin
Ethernet coaxial cable.
•
If a RemotaSilo chassis is at the end of the coaxial cable,
the end of the cable must be terminated with a 50 Ohm
terminator.
For twisted pair cable connection:
Note: Maximum length twisted pair Ethernet cable (from RemotaSilo
chassis to hub) is 328 feet.
