3. Configure and install the SAS devices in the Cluster-in-Box (CiB) enclosure.
Refer to the documentation for the devices for any pre-installation configuration requirements.
NOTE Drives that are used in the LSI Syncro CS solution must be selected
from the list of compatible SAS drives that LSI maintains on its website
at
http://www.lsi.com/channel/support/pages/interoperability.aspx.
You also can ask your drive vendor.
4. Connect the controller to SAS devices in the host computer cases.
Use SAS cables to connect the internal connectors J5A1 (top connector) and J5B1 (bottom connector) on the
Syncro CS controllers to the SAS
devices in the CiB enclosure, as shown in the following configuration diagram.
Make sure that both cables from an expander connect to either the same top connectors or the same bottom
connectors on each controller.
