2.1.5 Step Five: Run Connection Check
The connection check verifies the Fibre Channel connection between the two routers.
1. Power on the SCSI devices. If the devices are disk drives, then allow spin up time to
complete (maximum 2 minutes).
2. Power on the device router. The power LED (green) should be solid on. If it is off, then
see Section 4.3 (Power LED Not Lit).
3. On SW2 of the host router, set DIP switch 4 in the down position to activate the
Connection Check mode.
4. Power on the host router. The power LED (green) should be solid on. If it is off then
see Section 4.3 (Power LED Not Lit).
5. The testing process will take approximately 1 minute. When the test is complete, the
status LED and the fault LED will display one of two possible formats.
• If the Status LED (green) is solid on and the Fault LED (yellow) is off then the
Fibre Channel connection is good.
• If the Fault LED (yellow) is solid on and the Status LED (green) is blinking then
this indicates a problem with the Fibre Channel connection. Check the
connection following the procedure outlined in Section 4.2.
2.1.6 Step Six: Run Subsystem Device Check
The subsystem device check verifies the communication link between the SCSI-FC
Routers and the attached SCSI device(s).
1. Power off the host router.
2. Set DIP switch 5 on SW2 of the host router in the down position to activate the Device
Check mode.
3. Power on the host router. The power LED (green) should be solid on. If it is off then
see Section 4.3 (Power LED Not Lit).
4. The testing process will take approximately 1 minute. When the test is complete, the
status LED and the fault LED will display one of two possible formats.
• If the Status LED (green) is solid on and the Fault LED (yellow) is off then the
connection from the host router to the SCSI device(s) is good.
• If the Fault LED (yellow) is solid on and the Status LED (green) is blinking then
this indicates a communication problem between the device router and the
SCSI device(s). Check this connection following the procedure outlined in
Section 4.2.
Note: If the device check test fails after passing the connection check test in
Section 2.1.5, then the communication problem is between the device router
and the attached SCSI device(s).
2.1.7 Step Seven: Set Operating Mode
1. Power off the host router.
2. On SW2 of the host router, set DIP switches 0 and 2 to the down position to activate
the ’host’ operating mode.
3. Attach the host router to the host/server with the appropriate SCSI cable. Ensure that
cable and connectors are securely fastened. (To ensure proper cable specifications,
see Section 4.1.1.)
4. The configuration should now match the diagram in Figure 1-2.
Note: Steps 8 and 9, the Power Down and Power Up Sequences, should be considered
optional. If cycling the power on the storage devices is operationally problematic, these steps may
be ignored.
