4-22 SANnet II 200 FC, SATA, and SATA SE Array Installation, Operation, and Service Manual • March 2005

To review various configuration options, see the discussions following “Summary of
Array Configuration” on page 5-1. Refer also to the configuration options presented in
the SANnet II 200 FC and SATA Array Best Practices Manual.

In dual-controller arrays, SFPs are initially plugged into one of each pair of host and
drive ports. The default port connections are:

■

The upper I/O controller module has SFPs in the FC0, FC2, and FC4 ports.

■

The lower I/O controller module has SFPs in the FC1, FC3, and FC5 ports.

This configuration provides connections to all six host channels as well as to both
drive channels (see Figure 4-17 and Figure 4-18).
