Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
This chapter discusses the basic operational installation and the Disk Drive
installation.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Preparing for the Installation
Disk Drive Installation
Table and Shelf Installation
Rack-Mount Installation
2.1 Preparing for the Installation
If you want to connect your FASTORADAS-315SA DAS to the computer using
a SCSI adapter, install the adapter(s) in an available slot in the computer prior
to beginning FASTORADAS-315SA installation. See your operating system
manuals for the configuration procedures for the host bus adapter.
2.1.1 Terminating Disk Drive Channels
All SCSI buses must be terminated at each end. Termination absorbs electrical
signals and prevents those signals from bouncing back along the bus and
causing interference.
The SCSI drive channels of FASTORA DAS-315SA have been terminated
inside the chassis on the back plane. There is no need to terminate the disk
drives!

2.1.2 Connecting FASTORA DAS-315SA
FASTORADAS-315SA can be connected to the host computer via 2 Ultra 3
SCSI ports.
2.1.3 Host Bus SCSI ID Assignment
You may assign any SCSI ID to the host channel. The range of SCSI IDs on a
Wide SCSI bus starts from 0 to 15. You can use the Web browser RAID
management through standard 10/100 Ethernet port or a terminal to set the
host channel ID. (Refer to Section 3.1 Configuration Methods for more
information.) Be sure to assign an ID that does not conflict with any other
devices on the host bus as well as the host adapter.
2.1.4 Host Bus Termination
The DAS is shipped with host channel buses terminated. If the DAS is the last
device on the host bus, the LVD terminator should be connected. (See Figure
2-1)
