Host System Setup

Once the RAID Array has been configured, the Host System must be set up.

1. Shut down the host operating system, using your site-specific procedures. Once the

operating system has halted, power off the SGI system enclosure.

2. If necessary, install the SGI Fibre Channel host adapter, and the optical to electrical

Media Interface Adapter (MIA), using specific SGI FC-AL adapters only. The MIA

should be secured to the host adapter with its two attached fastening screws. The MIA

is available from SGI using the part number X-F-OE-KIT

3. Connect the optical cables from the RAID Controller to the hub or switch. Then,

connect the Fibre Channel Host adapter in the SGI enclosure to the hub or switch with

an optical cable.
