3.5-Inch Fibre Channel Solid State Drive

INSTALLATION

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

SCSI CONNECTIONS

The SSD can be installed in an operating system environment that supports SCSI-3 or greater

devices (the SSD is intended to be compliant to future SCSI-4 standards). If the system does not

have a Fibre Channel AL-Port, the user will need to supply and install an adapter before proceeding

with the installation. If the system fails to recognize the drive, make sure the most recent drivers for

the host adapter are installed. If the drive is connected to the motherboard, the drivers are provided

by the motherboard manufacturer. Changes to the operating system are not required.

Make sure the following is on hand before installing the SSD:

• Phillips screwdriver

• Six 6-32 machine screws

• A cable suitable to connect the backplane or tailgate card to the HBA

• An available tailgate card or backplane connection.

• Available 12V power source

SINGLE CHANNEL OPERATION

The SSD is dual-ported and can be accessed simultaneously down both ports or channels. This

allows the drive to be used on systems that have multi-pathing software, also known as “Dynamic

Multi-Pathing” or DMP. The DMP software allows for two completely separate paths from the one

host machine to access the same drive; the two separate paths are recognized as being logically

connected together. This allows for some redundancy to be incorporated into the system. Systems

that support DMP typically send commands to the drive down both channels, using the channel that

is the least busy. If one channel fails for any reason then all commands are automatically switched

to use the remaining active channel.

There is a risk of electrocution! Use extreme caution when

handling the solid state drive and while connecting it to a

power source. Observe all applicable electrical safety rules

while installing the solid state drive. Make sure to read and

thoroughly understand this section before attempting to

install the drive.
