MSA1000 Setup and Sample Configurations

Fibre Channel I/O Module Configurations
When using the included Fibre Channel I/O Module, the MSA1000 will usually
be connected to an external switch or hub. In Windows, Linux, and NetWare
environments only, the MSA1000 can be connected directly to a server.
Fiber optic cables are used to connect the MSA1000 to the server and SCSI cables
are used to connect the MSA1000 to the additional storage enclosures.
Figure 12 illustrates this basic configuration of connecting one server directly to
the Fibre Channel I/O Module of the MSA1000.
