Figure 34 Example of a separated controller conguration
As shown in the conguration, in addition to the standard 5 meter connection, there are
two optional features that can be ordered to enable the separ
ation of the racks
containing the two controllers in a dual controller storage system. Using the inter-
controller connecting kit (DKC-F810I-MOD30) depends on whether the 30 or 100 meter
cables are required.
The interconnect kit includes three dierent cable types of the required length (30 or 100
meter) and two Modcon packages (one package for each controller). Depending on
whether both the basic and optional cache platform board features (cache path control
adapter) are in installed, an addition of eight MFC optical cables may also be required
along with the cables included with the interconnecting kit. The following cables are used
for interconnecting various components in the primary controller to the equivalent
component in the secondary controller:
■
8 x MFC or 16 x MFC Optical Cables (light blue)
■
2 x Modcon Optical Cables (green)
■
1 x LAN cable (light grey)
