CONNECTING THE G4 GRANITERACK
A single G4 GraniteRack can be connected to up to 25 network video recorders to provide up to 64TB
of pooled storage.
Note
OpenEye recommends connecting no more than 10 recorders to a single G4 GraniteRack
unit.
To connect a G4 GraniteRack to one or more recorders, you can purchase a 24-port switch from
OpenEye. This switch is preconfigured with Gigabit networking and LACP. Ports 1-8 are to be used for
iSCSI connection. When connecting a G4 GraniteRack, use 2 connections per unit. (1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5
and 6, 7 and 8, respectively). Ports 9-16 are to be used to connect the recorders, and ports 17-24 can
be used to connect cameras to the recorders, if necessary.
