Chapter 2: Hardware and Software Setup
This chapter describes how to set up the hardware and software for a Syncro CS 9286-8e solution with two controller
nodes and shared storage. For this implementation, you use two standard server modules with Syncro CS 9286-8e
controllers that provide access to disks in one or more JBOD enclosures for reliable, high-access redundancy.
The LSI Syncro CS 9286-8e controller kit includes the following items:
 Two Syncro CS 9286-8e controllers
 Two CacheVault Flash Modules 03 (CVFM03) (pre-installed on the controllers)
 Two CacheVault Power Modules 02 (CVPM02)
 Two CVPM02 mounting clips and hardware
 Two CVPM02 extension cables
 Two low-profile brackets
 Syncro CS 9286-8e Controller Quick Installation Guide
 Syncro CS Resource CD
The hardware configuration for the Syncro CS 9286-8e solution requires the following additional hardware that is not
included in the kit:
 Two server modules from the approved compatibility list from LSI. The servers must include network cards.
 One or more JBOD enclosures with SAS disk drives from the approved compatibility list from LSI.
 A monitor and a pointing device for each server node.
 Network cabling and SAS cabling to connect the servers and JBOD enclosures.
