IV. Hardware Setup

• 2-12. SCSI Cabling-1 (Default)

Cabling the RAID Controller to Two Host Computers

Channel 1 connects to Host Computer 1.

Channel 2 connects to Host Computer 2.

Channel 0 connects to the SCSI backplane.

The two SCSI backplanes are linked together.

The top SCSI backplane is terminated.

IMPORTANT

• This is the default setting of the DA3000 RAID controller: Channel

1 and Channel 2 are assigned to the host channels and Channel 0 is

assigned to the drive channel.

• This configuration can be applied to the following conditions:

1. Redundant host computers share the same disk array(s).

2. Seperate host computers use different disk arrays.

3. Only one host computer uses the disk array(s) and Chan-

nel 2 is reserved.

• With this configuration, Channel 0 (the drive channel) can

connect up to 10 physical drives.

• Disk drives connecting to the two DA-BP5 SCSI backplanes

must have different SCSI IDs.
