JBOD Configurations

Dual I/O Module to

Host Configuration

Note: For dual I/O enclosures there must be two LS modules

installed in the enclosure.

This section describes the procedure for connecting enclo-

sures with two I/O modules (Copper HSSDC or Optical) to

your host computer, and also how to daisy chain these enclo-

sures together. Having dual I/O modules provides dual Fibre

Channel loop operation.

To connect the dual I/O module enclosure to the host:

Note: You will need two HBA’s in your host system or a single HBA

with support for two connections, or two hosts with single HBA’s.

1 Insert the HSSDC/Optical connector on the first cable, into the

connector on the first I/O module (see Figure 3-4).

2 Insert the other end of this cable into the connector on your

HBA.

3 Insert the HSSDC/Optical connector on the second cable, into

the connector on the second I/O module (see Figure 3-4).

4 Insert the other end of this cable into the connector on your

HBA.

Note: For details on your host and/or HBA refer to the documen-

tation that was supplied with the Host / HBA.
