NOTE
To connect the rack-mount InterRAID-8 cabinet, refer to the system’s hardware
documentation for the rack-mounted system.
InterRAID-8 is available in two configurations, single-channel and dual-channel. The
single-channel cabinet has eight devices on one SCSI channel, and the dual-channel cabinet
has four devices on each of two SCSI channels. To determine whether you have a single-
channel or a dual-channel cabinet, look at the back of the cabinet. The single-channel
InterRAID-8 cabinet has only one SCSI port; the dual-channel cabinet has two SCSI ports.
Single-Channel
To connect the single-channel InterRAID-8 cabinet:
1. Connect one end of the RAID SCSI cable to the SCSI port on the InterRAID-8 cabinet.
