1-2 Sun StorEdge A3500 Hardware Configuration Guide • September 1998
1.1 Configuration Guidelines
Use the following guidelines for installing and cabling or reconfiguring your system.
■ Do not exceed a SCSI bus length of 25 meters.
■ Make sure that the last Sun StorEdge A3000 controller module in any daisy chain
has a total of two terminators, one in each SCSI OUT port.
■ If you are adding a controller module to an already existing configuration, halt all
activity on the SCSI bus before removing any SCSI cables.
■ Once you finish cabling the devices and powering on, reboot the system by
typing boot -r at the ok prompt before beginning any SCSI bus activity.
Perform a system check to make sure that SCSI connections are secure. Look for fault
LEDs on the hardware or error messages in the RAID Manager GUI.
Note – Refer to your server and rack documentation for instructions on grounding
the StorEdge A3500 cabinet.
