•
Use a twisted pair cable to connect the Master
RemotaSilo to one port of the Ethernet hub.
•
Use a twisted pair cable to connect the Slave RemotaSilo
chassis to another port of the Ethernet hub.
Slave RemotaSilo Connected to Another
RemotaSilo with RAID Controller
To connect the RAID controller to the internal DB-9 connector on the
RemotaSilo circuit board (see Figure 3), use an asynchronous serial
cable with a plug 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. Refer to the RAID controller
documentation 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 one of
the Slave RemotaSilo chassis rear panels.
•
Attach another T-connector to the BNC port located on the
other 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.
