SF300 DSSI Storage Array Cabling
Diagrams
This appendix contains cabling diagrams for the Sx300 storage array
variations (DSSI), in both the single-host Section A.3 and dual-host Section A.4
configurations. This chapter also informs about some general rules about
cabling single host,dual host or in stripe set mode.
A.1 General Cabling Rules
A.1.1 Single Host Configurations
In single host configurations port P1 to P4 is used. The left site of the DSSI
panel of the SF1/SF2/SF4/SF5 will be connected to the ports. SF3 and SF6
will operate in split bus mode. In case tape loader systems will be mounted
into the cabinet the TF1/TF2/TF3/TF4 will be connected to P1/P2/P3/P4. The
bottom site of the tape loader will be connected to right site of the DSSI panel
of a mounted SF disk enclosure. For example TF1 bottom will be connected to
SF1 right connector.
