Connecting Drives to StorPoint CD
A single StorPoint CD server can service up to 7 CD/DVD drives. Each unit on
the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI address. To work properly, the bus must
be electrically terminated at both ends.
Caution!
Always make sure that power is not connected to the StorPoint CD unit or
any of the drives when making changes to the SCSI chain. The bus may
become damaged if you connect or disconnect any units when the power is
on.
Connecting the
SCSI Drives
To connect the SCSI drives to your StorPoint CD, follow these steps:
1. Connect the SCSI cable to the SCSI connector on the StorPoint CD unit.
2. Connect the SCSI cable to the drive(s).
3. Set a unique SCSI address 0 through 6 for each of the connected drives. Refer
to the drive documentation for instructions on how to set the SCSI address
on your drives.
Note:
The SCSI address of the StorPoint CD unit is 7, and cannot be changed.
4. Connect an external, preferably active, SCSI terminator to the last drive in the
SCSI chain. If there is only one drive, it is the last one in the chain and must
be terminated. StorPoint CD has built-in SCSI termination which is always
switched on. Therefore, the server must be physically located at one end of the
chain.
Note:
Do not terminate the drives placed between the StorPoint CD unit and the
last drive.
5. Switch the power on to the whole of the tower.
6. The StorPoint CD front panel indicators will flash during power-on and self-
test. When the Status indicator stops flashing and turns solid green, your
StorPoint CD is ready for use.
