Installation ISE User Guide
Direct Attach (DAS)
An ISE can attach directly to a host through the Fibre Channel ports (see the online compatibility matrix at
http://support.XIOstorage.com
). Below is an example of direct attach (or direct connect) of an ISE to a host.
Notice that the cables are routed to avoid blocking hot-replacement of components. The orange Fibre Channel
cables connect directly from the host HBAs to each MRC Fibre Channel Port. The two blue Ethernet cables
connect the ISE Ethernet ports to a network switch for management interface access.
