Syncro CS 9286-8e Controller Quick Installation Guide
October 2013

Installation Instructions

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.

6.

Connect the external ports on the controllers by cable to the JBOD enclosure.

Use SAS cables to connect the external connectors J1A4 (top connector) and J1B1 (bottom connector) on the
Syncro CS 9286-8e controllers to the JBOD enclosures containing the SAS drives, 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.

7.

Connect the servers to the cluster network environment.

8.

Turn on the power to the host computers and the enclosure.

Reconnect the power cords. Follow the generally accepted best practice by turning on the power to the JBOD
enclosure before you turn on the power to the two host computers. If you turn on the power to the computers
before you turn on the power to the JBOD enclosure, the host computers might not recognize the disk drives.
