Connecting the 3U16 shelves to an appliance or to other 3U16 shelves

Connecting a 3U16 shelf to an appliance that does not have any shelves

This section describes how to connect the SAS2 cables between the NetBackup 5230 appliance and the first 3U16 storage shelf.

To connect a single 3U16 storage shelf to an appliance

  1. Obtain the two SAS2 cables that ship with the 3U16 storage shelf.
  2. Locate the RAID controller in slot 1 of the appliance. The controller has two SAS2 ports.
  3. If a RAID controller card is not installed it and other components of the Expansion Storage Kit must be installed. A Veritas-authorized field technician performs the installation.
  4. Use the following diagram as a reference.
  5. Connect one end of a SAS2 cable to the right-hand port on the RAID controller.
  6. Locate the storage shelf I/O module that is on the same side as the RAID controller connector into which you connected the SAS2 cable. The I/O module is located above the power supply and fans.

    Plug the other end of the SAS2 cable into the SAS_IN port in the I/O module.

  7. Plug one end of the second SAS2 cable into the second connector in the RAID controller.
  8. Plug the other end of the second SAS2 cable into the second I/O module SAS_IN port.

You can connect up to four storage shelves to the appliance. Refer to the following section for instructions.

Connecting additional 3U16 storage shelves

Connecting additional 3U16 storage shelves

This section describes how to connect additional 3U16 storage shelves. You can connect up to four storage shelves to one NetBackup 5230 Appliance.

Refer to the following diagrams as needed. Detailed instructions are provided after the diagrams.

To connect additional 3U16 storage shelves

  1. Locate the two SAS2 cables that are shipped with the 3U16 storage shelf.
  2. Locate the SAS_IN and SAS_OUT ports on both I/O modules on the rear of the storage shelf.
  3. Locate the left I/O module of the 3U16 storage shelf that is connected to the appliance.
  4. Plug one end of a SAS2 cable into the SAS_OUT port in that I/O module.
  5. Connect the other end of the SAS2 cable to the SAS_IN port in the left I/O module in the additional storage shelf.
  6. Plug one end of another SAS2 cable into the SAS_OUT port in the right I/O module of the storage shelf that is connected to the appliance.
  7. Connect the other end of the SAS2 cable to the SAS_IN port in the right I/O module in the additional storage shelf.
