About This Guide
This document provides diagrams and information about connecting your workstation to your Autodesk
®
Stone
®
Direct storage. It covers the HP
®
workstation, as well as the XR-series storage unit.
Since a given workstation may work with various storage configurations, the diagrams are organized as two
sets: a set that illustrates where to connect the fibre optic cables to your workstation, and a set that illustrates
where to connect the fibre optic cables to your storage. Thus, to connect your workstation to your storage,
use the two diagrams that represent your configuration: one for the workstation and one for the storage.
