Step 3. RAID System Connections

Connecting RAID System to the Host

There were 4 iSCSI channel interfaces on each controller. Each channel

interface can be connected using standard Gat5/6 Ethernet cables.

You can configure your RAID system for Direct Storage (DAS) by directly

connecting to a host server or through an inexpensive gigabit Ethernet

switch to build a Storage Area Network (IP-SAN).

To connect the Ethernet cable:

1. Insert the cable to the CH port.

2. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to a LAN switch or directly to

a iSCSi port on the host server using a crossover cable.

Connecting SAS JBOD (Sold separately)

Follow the procedures below to connect to SAS JBOD enclosure.

1. Insert a SAS connector to the EXP port on the controller.
