5.3 Cabling the ETERNUS CS800 S6 System
CAUTION!
The sequence of the JX40 storage expansion modules must be observed precisely
when they are mounted and connected to each other, see "Labels on Front and
Rear of the Storage Expansion Module" on page 82. Otherwise the system will not
work and might get damaged.
Also consider the maximum length of the SAS cables: The maximum length of the
cable between the server and the first JX40 module (JX40-1) is 3.5m and the
cables between the JX40 modules have a maximum length of 1.1m.
Using longer cables may cause malfunction with a risk of data loss!
3. Connect the LAN ports and optionally the iRMC port to the appropriate networks. At
least one of the LAN ports must be connected.
4. If your ETERNUS CS800 also provides FC ports: Connect them to the SAN or directly
to the appropriate devices.
5.3.3 Scale System
There are three different versions of the Scale model, which can be distinguished by the ports
respectively the PCI slots used in the server, see table "Usage of PCI Slots - Scale System"
on page 59.
Optionally up to ten ETERNUS DX100 S3 drive enclosures can be connected to the DX100
controller enclosure to provide a disk capacity of more than 32TB (up to 352TB).
Internal cabling of the Scale system
The Scale model requires connecting the ETERNSU DX100 S3 storage subsystem to the
server using LAN and FC cables. In addition the optionally available drive enclosures must
be connected to the controller enclosure using SAS cables.
The required cables for this internal cabling are delivered together with the system.
Proceed as follows to prepare the internal cabling:
