2 Distance Solution
The installation and operational procedures for the SCSI-FC Router distance solution are detailed in
the following section.
2.1 Installation
2.1.1 Step One: Ensure That Attached Devices Function Properly
1. Power on the SCSI device(s) (disks or tape drive) that will connect to the device router as
seen in Figure 1-2.
2. Ensure that the SCSI devices are functioning properly (refer to the SCSI device operating
manual to determine proper operation).
3. Power on the host/server that will connect to the host router.
4. Ensure that the host is functioning properly (refer to the operating manual for the host to
determine proper operation).
5. Power off the host/server.
6. Power off the SCSI devices.
2.1.2 Step Two: Set Up Device Router
1. Choose one of SCSI-FC Routers to be the device router, as defined in Section 1.2 and
as shown in Figure 1-2. (Either router may be used as the device router.)
2. Ensure that the device router and the SCSI device(s) to be attached are powered off.
3. On the device router set all DIP switches on switch one (SW1) to the down position.
• To locate switch one (SW1), see Figure 2-4.
• For more information on using SW1 to assign SCSI ID/LUN pairs, see Section
3.3.2.
4. Set switch 2 (SW2) of the device router to one of the four device router modes (UW
disk mode, UW tape mode, FW disk mode or FW tape mode) as described below. For
the device router to operate properly when used with a SCSI Fast/Wide storage
subsystem, it must be set to one of the settings listed below. (For further information
on SW2 mode settings, see Section 3.3.3.)
• If the devices being attached are SCSI Ultra Wide drives, then on Switch 2
(SW2) of the device router, set DIP switch 7 in the down position to activate the
UW disk mode.
• If the devices being attached are SCSI Ultra Wide tape drives, then on SW2 of
the device router, set DIP switches 0 and 7 in the down position to activate the
UW tape mode.
• If the devices being attached are SCSI Fast Wide drives, then on SW2 of the
device router, set DIP switches 5 and 7 in the down position to activate the FW
disk mode.
• If the devices being attached are SCSI Fast Wide tape drives, then on SW2 of
the device router, set DIP switches 0, 5 and 7 in the down position to activate
the FW tape mode.
