DuraStor 412R/6320SS/7320SS Installation and User’s Guide
Configuring DuraStor
Note:
This section provides configuration information for
basic 12-disk drive systems. For more advanced configuration
information, see
Appendix C,
Advanced Configurations and
Cabling
.
Configure your storage subsystem by setting the switches and
jumpers and connecting the data cables. Follow the instructions
provided for your storage subsystem:
■
For the DuraStor 412R, see the next section,
Basic Configuration –
DuraStor 412R
.
■
For the DuraStor 6320SS, see
Basic Configuration –
DuraStor 6320SS
on page 2-12

Basic Configuration – DuraStor 412R
The DuraStor 412R can be set up as a single-bus or dual-bus JBOD
(Just a Bunch Of Disks) configuration using a single enclosure,
which provides a storage solution with up to 12 disk drives.
To set up the storage subsystem as a single-bus, you need to install
the single-bus module, which is available as a separate item from
Adaptec. Visit
www.adaptec.com
for ordering information.
In single-bus mode, channel 1 on the SAF-TE disk I/O card
assesses every disk drive (drives 1 through 12). In this mode, a
single-bus module (see
page 5-8
) must be installed in the controller
1 slot. This module joins channel 1 and channel 2 together to create
a single, continuous SCSI bus.
Figure 2-6
shows the disk drive
connectivity of the single-bus mode.
Note:
In these logical view diagrams, auto sense allows the
physical connection to disable termination.
