• One of the following shared-storage RAID arrays:

- Infortrend S12F-R1440

- HP MSA 2040

The following topics provide information about installing the failover hardware components for

the supported configurations:

• “Failover Cluster Connections: Avid ISIS, Redundant-Switch Configuration” on page 21

• “Failover Cluster Connections, Dual-Connected Configuration” on page 24

AS3000 Slot Locations

Each AS3000 server requires a ATTO Celerity FC-81EN Fibre Channel host adapter to connect

to the shared-storage RAID array. The card should be installed in the top expansion slot, as

shown in the following illustration.
