User manual QUANTUM TC2201E

[. . . ] Caution: When installing the TC2201E, use only the screws and other hardware provided in the shipping container for the TC2201E. Using alternate hardware may cause damage to the unit. 0 Installing the TC2201E consists of the following steps: · · · · · · Choosing a Location Unpacking the Box Installing the TC2201E on a Desktop Installing the TC2201E in a Rack Connecting the TC2201E Configuring the TC2201E Choosing a Location The TC2201E can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a standard 19-inch rack depending on the specific requirements of the installation. 0 The operating environment should meet the requirements found in Quantum TC2201E User's Guide PN 81-81447. If you plan to use the TC2201E on a table top, attach the stick-on feet to the bottom of the unit. [. . . ] Failure to correctly configure an iSCSI device may impair the operation of the network to which it is attached. The iSCSI RJ-45 connectors on the unit can be directly connected to a standard 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet network. Typical installations will have the TC2201E connected to an Ethernet switch or hub. The unit can also be directly attached to the iSCSI host bus adapter, in a Point-to-Point fashion. 8 Connecting the TC2201E Quantum TC2201E Installation Instructions Document 81-81449-01 A01 July 2005 Both Ethernet switches and hubs may allow for individual ports to be configured for different media types. The TC2201E must be connected to the hub or switch port with the appropriate Ethernet cabling for both the TC2201E and the switch port to which it is connected. To connect the TC2201E to an iSCSI network: 1 Locate the iSCSI ports on the back of the TC2201E. Figure 8 iSCSI ports iSCSI ports 2 With the TC2201E powered off, connect the TC2201E into the iSCSI environment using the appropriate cabling. Be sure to insert the cable connectors in the proper orientation. SCSI Connection 0 The TC2201E can support Fast/Ultra160 Narrow/Wide SCSI, depending on the specific configuration. Two VHDCI 68-pin D-shell, P-type connectors are located on the rear panel of the unit, allowing the unit to be attached at the end of up to two SCSI buses. An internal self-resetting fuse in the TERMPWR will reset after a fault is cleared. Connecting the TC2201E 9 Quantum TC2201E Installation Instructions Document 81-81449-01 A01 July 2005 Figure 9 High Density SCSI Cables Warning: During attachment of high density SCSI cables, please note the orientation (as shown in Figure 2-11) of the high density SCSI port connectors on the back panel of TC2201E. Failure to maintain appropriate orientation of the cables to the SCSI port connectors can result in damage to the SCSI port connectors on the TC2201E. Failure to heed this caution may result in severe damage to equipment. Power off the TC2201E whenever connecting/disconnecting the SCSI cables. Caution: Caution: Any SCSI cables used with the TC2201E series product must meet SCSI 2 standards and must be LVD rated (specifically low noise cabling). The cables should be rated at 24 Ohm impedance and should have a VHDCI 68pin . 8mm D-shell/P-type to Standard 68pin SCSI D-shell connector at the end being attached to the TC2201E. The type of connector at the other end of the cable will be dependent on the device being connected. Warning: Please be advised that failure to comply with the minimum high density cable specifications can result in damage to the TC2201E or an operational failure of the product. Note: SE is not supported by SCSI-2 protocols. While it is possible to mix SE and LVD devices on the same bus, doing so may result in substantially decreased performance on the bus. 10 Connecting the TC2201E Quantum TC2201E Installation Instructions Document 81-81449-01 A01 July 2005 To connect the TC2201E to a SCSI bus: 1 Power off the SCSI devices on this bus. 2 Connect a SCSI cable to one of the SCSI connectors on the back panel of the unit. However, the device at the other end of bus must also be terminated. Figure 10 TC2201E SCSI connection SCSI buses 4 Power on the SCSI devices on this bus, but not the TC2201E. [. . . ] For example, Windows 9x, NT 4. 0, or Windows 2000 operating systems can use Hyper terminal. Be sure the baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control are set correctly. This can take up to 90 seconds, during which time the POST and initialization information may or may not be visible on the terminal or terminal emulator. Connecting the TC2201E 13 Quantum TC2201E Installation Instructions Document 81-81449-01 A01 July 2005 The baud rate used by the terminal or terminal emulator must be 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200.
