NOTES:

For stand-alone configurations, the Single RAID Controller Module should be installed in

the Controller A (Primary) location only.

For stand-alone configurations, only RAID Controller A Host ports should be used to con-

nect to FC Hosts 0 & 1. RAID Controller B Host ports are for loop expansion only.

Auto Loopback is enabled when there are no SFP Modules installed in the open Host ports.

Cover plate (provided) must be installed if module slot is left empty. Installation of

cover plate is necessary for proper cooling inside chassis.

Up to 15 disks per SCSI Channel with Single RAID Controller Module Unit installed.
