Quantum TC2201E Installation Instructions Document 81-81449-01 A01 July 2005 Both Ethernet switches and hubs may allow for individual ports to be configured for different media types. The TC2201E must be connected to the hub or switch port with the appropriate Ethernet cabling for both the TC2201E and the switch port to which it is connected. To connect the TC2201E to an iSCSI network: 1 Locate the iSCSI ports on the back of the TC2201E.

Quantum TC2201E Installation Instructions Document 81-81449-01 A01 July 2005 Figure 9 High Density SCSI Cables Warning: During attachment of high density SCSI cables, please note the orientation (as shown in Figure 2-11) of the high density SCSI port connectors on the back panel of TC2201E. Failure to maintain appropriate orientation of the cables to the SCSI port connectors can result in damage to the SCSI port connectors on the TC2201E. Caution: Do not plug HVD devices to an LVD/SE bus.

Quantum TC2201E Installation Instructions Document 81-81449-01 A01 July 2005 To connect the TC2201E to a SCSI bus: 1 Power off the SCSI devices on this bus. 2 Connect a SCSI cable to one of the SCSI connectors on the back panel of the unit. The TC2201E should always be installed at the end of the SCSI bus. 3 Make sure that the bus is terminated correctly. By default, the TC2201E is automatically terminated. However, the device at the other end of bus must also be terminated.

Quantum TC2201E Installation Instructions Document 81-81449-01 A01 July 2005 The baud rate used by the terminal or terminal emulator must be 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200. The TC2201E will not function properly at any other baud rate. Once the POST and firmware initiation processes are complete, the main menu should be accessible over the serial port. Optionally, the main menu can also be accessed over the Ethernet port as described in the next Chapter of this manual.
